Attitude

So I posted a thought for the day on facebook and my smarty little sister with a not so good attitude replied with LMFAO...uggggg..

So here was my post:
If you don't like something, change it. If you can't change it, change your attidtude. Don't complain.

After she posted her comment it got me to thinking, why would someone feel that way or say that??? If a person does not feel that life is not treating them so good than they would not have such a good outlook on life nor have an attitude of gratitude. I was personally raised in a home life with bad attitudes, bad moods and sometimes bad conditions. (lack of food, fighting, no electric, ect...)
So how did I climb out of that type of mindset and way of life? I have a wonderful husband that is my rock and also my sandpaper. I know God brought me to this little town I live in today so I would marry DH.

So here are my reply's and how I have helped climb myself out of the nasty attitude problem that used to be so embedded in me. But one thing is for sure I did not change on my own or of my husbands doing. It is because of the saving grace of my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. I am so thankful for the blood shed on the cross for me.

So to put this all together I know that our attitudes effect every part of us right down to our pocket books! The attitude battle starts in you mind, your way of thinking and what your are fixing your thoughts on.

Attitude:
by Charles Swindoll [wikipedia.org]
The longer I live, the more I realize the impact of attitude on life.

Attitude, to me, is more important than facts. It is more important than the past, than education, than money, than circumstances, than failures, than successes, than what other people think or say or do. It is more important than appearance, giftedness, or skill. It will make or break a company ... a church ... a home. ...

The remarkable thing is we have a choice every day regarding the attitude we will embrace for that day. We cannot change our past. We cannot change the fact that people will act in a certain way. We cannot change the inevitable.

The only thing we can do is play on the one string we have, and that is our attitude ... I am convinced that life is 10% what happens to me, and 90% how I react to it. And so it is with you ... we are in charge of our Attitudes.
