ATTITUDE DETERMINES ATTITUDE

Posted by Unknown On Tuesday, June 9, 2009 2 comments
I woke up early today, excited over all I get to do before the clock strikes midnight. I have responsibilities to fulfill today. I am important.

My job is to choose what kind of day I am going to have.

Today I can complain because the weather is rainy or I can be thankful that the grass is getting watered for free.

Today I can feel sad that I don't have more money or I can be glad that my finances encourage me to plan my purchases wisely and guide me away from waste.

Today I can grumble about my health or I can rejoice that I am alive.

Today I can lament over all that my parents didn't give me when I was growing up or I can feel grateful that they allowed me to be born.

Today I can cry because roses have thorns or I can celebrate that thorns have roses.

Today I can mourn my lack of friends or I can excitedly embark upon a quest to discover new relationships.

Today I can whine because I have to go to work or I can shout for joy because I have a job to do.

Today I can complain because I have to go to school or eagerly open my mind and fill it with rich new tidbits of knowledge.

Today I can murmur dejectedly because I have to do housework or I can feel honored because the Lord has provided shelter for my mind, body and soul.

Today stretches ahead of me, waiting to be shaped. And here I am, the sculptor who gets to do the shaping.

What today will be like is up to me. I get to choose what kind of day I will have!

    Tiger Er, MWS, I think it's "determines ALtitude"?
    Anyway, slip of the tongue, it's ok...
    I suppose my "Get Moving" post resonates with this one!

    Unknown Hi Tiger

    I think we can see it both ways :-)...What a coincidence! It was a typo error and yet attitude can determine other attitudes :-). Thanks for highlighting it.

    Yes, this one is in synch with your "Get Moving" post.

    Take care and God bless you and yours.
