Living With A Positive Attitude
"Finally, brothers and sisters, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable, if anything is excellent or praiseworthy - think about such things." Philippians 4:8 (NKJV).
Attitude...What are your first thoughts when you wake up each morning? If your are being honest, would your first thoughts be, "Good morning Lord," or "Good Lord it's morning?" Do you see your cup half full or half empty? The single most significant decision we can make on a day-to-day basis is our choice of attitude. Our attitude determines our happiness. Positive minds produce positive lives, but negative minds produce a negative life. If you want your one and only life to be good then you must begin with your attitude. It makes a huge difference in the day that follows. Here's the truth, we can not control everything but we can control our attitude. We get to choose how we respond, how we think, how we will act in regards to what happens in our day. Paul tells us in Philippians that we need to "Trian our minds on those things that are lovely." A compliment is a positive and powerful encouragement. Practice giving someone else a compliment. It leaves a million ripples and will come back to you!
"This is the day the Lord has made, let us rejoice and be glad in it." Psalm 118:24 (NKJV).
"Look for something positive in everyday, even if some days you have to look a little harder."
Sweetest Blessings,
Jo
