at·ti·tude
noun
manner, disposition, feeling, position, etc., with regard to a person or thing; tendency or orientation, especially of the mind: a negative attitude
there are days when i loose count of how many times i have to "check" my attitude. i lean towards negative (yep, that's me just being real) and to turn that negative attitude into a positive one takes effort. i wouldn't say i have an angry attitude, walking around with a "chip on my shoulder" just more of a negative one, it's not always this way but more so than i would like. honestly more than any other thing our attitude is what determines the kind of life we are going to have. there is such power in having a positive attitude. i've noticed the difference in my own life, have you? when my attitude is positive things are better and when i'm negative things are not so good, it's actually as simple as that. put in good you get good, put in bad you get bad. it is especially important to have a positive attitude because God is positive, have you ever thought of it that way? what's amazing is that when we are positive it releases God to work in our lives. no matter what we face, the truth is..."He who lives in me (and you if you have a relationship with Him) is greater (mightier) than he who is in the world." -I John 4:4. knowing this is so comforting. and what an awesome difference in my outlook and in my life when i choose to be positive. when i have a positive attitude it is a result of focusing on the right thing-God.
