An Attitude Of Gratitude Is Not Just A Platitude
Some people choose to have a bad Attitude
Some people choose to have a bad Attitude. They can look at the land of milk and honey and see only calories and cholesterol.
They have bumper stickers that go like this We are born naked, wet and hungry. Then things get worse.
I believe you have a choice. You can either complain that rose bushes have thorns or you can rejoice that thorn bushes have roses. You can learn to make the right choices through Life Training.
If you wake up in the morning and listen to songs like I Can not Get No Satisfaction. What will that do for your attitude. You will really get no satisfaction. Or here another inspirational ditty Raindrops Keep Falling on my Head That having great expectation for the day Or here a personal favorite I have Got Friends in Low Places Well that ought to affect your life in a real positive manner
It is been proven that the first 30 minutes of your day and the last 30 minutes are the most important concerning your Attitude.
In advertising they call every time you see a sign read an ad or hear a radio spot etc. an impression. The goal is to bombard you with multiple impressions to persuade you to buy their products. Each sensory reception creates an impression which creates a perception Your Attitude will be affected by what you are impressed by That in turn will affect your performance. Do not allow yourself to be filled with bad impressions.
Dont let Madison Avenue determine your Attitude. Your morning coffee should not determine your Attitude! What if the city dump was called eating disorder She had a chronic illness. They couldnt get her to eatno matter what they couldnt get her to eat. When she did eat it did not digest correctly. They tried to give her the medication but there was no way in the world that Callie would take her medication. So eventually they had to use five men as part of their job to give Callie her medication.
She refused to take it orally so they decided they were going to have to give her the medication in another way. Yes I know what youre thinking! And you are right They had to use a ten-inch long, 41 pound coco butter suppository.
So everyday one of them would tenderly lift her tail one of them would take a rubber glove that covered the entire arm and three of the other men soothed and positioned Callie. And they administered her medication much to her dismay
What a job How would that look on your resume
What was your last job
Oh I inserted a ten inch long 41 pound coco butter suppository into a grumpy 6000 pound female pachyderm
So, the bottom line is this. There are at least five people in America that have a job worse than yours
Stop complaining folks. This too will pass Change your Attitude and you will change your life through Life Training
It is important to keep an Attitude of Gratitude. I have personally found that the longer your gratitude list the shorter your gripe list
Once our family was going through some difficult times financially. Now I know some people will not admit to that but it is a fact we had some challenges in front of us. I was finding myself overwhelmed and I was developing a sour Attitude!
So I gathered my family together one night and got out a note pad. I told them that we were going to make a list of everything we could remember that had happened that past year we were thankful for. It began slowly. But when we got into it my pen could not keep up. We wrote down everything! Physical things. Spiritual things. Financial things! We laughed we cried we got out the projector and showed slides and watched recent videos. Then we added more to the list. We decided to read the list aloud for 30 days. Something miraculous happened when we developed an Attitude of gratitude during this Life Training.
We broke the back of adversity Thankful people become blessed people! I suggest that if you are having an Attitude problem. If you like the great Zig Zigler says have stinkin thinkin then make out a gratitude list. Make a willful choice to adjust you Attitude! Suppose someone offered to come by your house and deliver 2500 lbs. of garbage on your lawn for free. Would you accept it NOT You would think they were crazy! And yet, we let the media and people around us dump garbage into us on a daily basis. We have got to be smarter than that!
You do not have to be pessimistic. It is a choice. Did you know that the 1828 Noah Webster Dictionary did not have the word pessimist or pessimistic in it There was no such word
The great Helen Keller once said No pessimist ever discovered the secret of the stars or sailed to an uncharted land or opened a new doorway for the human spirit.
Your attitude is a choice. You get to choose
Think about this have you ever heard anybody say He really got a great Attitude. Let fire him Ha Never in a million years.
