Attitute!?


Today I received a very interesting email, it was talking about how it's better to make a choice in any given situation rather than reacting to it. Let me explain, as much as I can, each day we worry about tomorrow but if we think about it today was the tomorrow of the day before. Each day we will have trials - some days more than others - but the choice is ours to react in a negative or positive way (either will not solve most of your problems but it sure will give you strength to go on if you take a positive outlook), look on the "could be worst" part of the situation and keep positive. It's very important I have come to know that having a positive outlook is very good for the people you come in contact with. You never know how bad someone else has it and your positive outlook could be the ray of sunshine to brighten their moment in the day. Life is just a series of choices as we interact with each new situation that we face, the problem is that, like myself, most people react instead of making a choice to be positive. It's hard, but I think I will give it a try and maybe with practice I will become perfect. The choice we make eventually should be to portray the choice that Jesus would have made. Jesus was a very cool and calm individual, even when they were questioning him before they killed him he was in control all the way. Even when correcting he was kind - even when chasing out the money changers from the temple I would believe that he was calm and didn't use curse language or anything like that at the people. That's why they left, they knew what they were doing was wrong or else they would have subdued Jesus. Our choice must be to be like Jesus.

that is so true! So often we say "tomorrow is going to be so bad" and we dont realize that we are speaking that into truth. We need to have a more positive outlook on life and then we'll start to have more positive things in our lives... and who knows how much that can help lift up others who are down!

I know that I struggle with this also. I spend too much of my life obsessing about tomorrow, and then suddenly today is gone.

Great post!

Reminds me of WWJD...

But sometimes having a positive outlook is easier said than done. BUt I realise that it is important and, for the last few weeks, I have been trying to live by that. I makes life a lot easier and more fun!
