It's ALL in the 'tude you choose to have :)

I am going to share something that my life counselor, Gayle Hoone, wrote. I did not write any of this, however, I agree with every word...muchly! Enjoy...

ATTITUDE

I have a question for you today:  What is your attitude?

Attitude:  produces how I approach, take a stand, or position on any given subject

                dictates how I act in situations  

                is my outlook, my thoughts, my feelings

                is my mind set, my way of thinking, my view point, and “my” opinion

                are my mannerisms leaking in every circumstance

What is your attitude?

virtuous or vice

moral or immoral

apathetic or energized

facts or assumptions

seeking or giving up

patient or impatient

enduring or complaining

restraining or unrestrained

self-disciplined or disciplined

maturing or immature

Are you:  glad or sad … joy-filled or depressed … hopeful or hopeless … confident or ashamed

     What I know about attitude has to do with how I use my mind. If I don’t know what I’m thinking then how can I utilize what GOD has given, my intelligence? My intelligence is based on what I’m thinking. My thinking develops by what goes into my mind. So it seems to me I have been given an opportunity to either let my mind’s attitude run me, or I can run my attitude mind. How do I do that? Simply by knowing my thoughts and changing them. It’s simple but it is work! Find out how your brain thinks, and stop feeding its negative appetite, its fears (projections based on past experiences, projections based on current conditions). Sure, the fact is the world is becoming more and more chaotic. But, do I have feed my negative, fearful attitude?

”The longer I live the more I realize the impact of attitude on life. Attitude to me is more important than facts. It is more important than the past, than education, than money, than circumstances, than failure, than successes, than what other people think or say or do. It is more important than appearance, giftedness, or skill. It will make or break a company, a church, a home. The remarkable thing is we have a choice every day regarding the attitude we will embrace for that day. We cannot change our past. We cannot change the fact that people will act a certain way. We cannot change the inevitable. The only thing we can do is play on the one string we have and that is our attitude. I am convinced that life is 10% what happens to me and 90% how I react to it. And so it is with you. We are in charge of our Attitudes.”  by Charles Swindoll
