Patience is allowing time to run its course and allowing people, including ourselves, to work and grow at our own pace. Patience moves our minds away from frustrations, expectations or “shoulds” and aligns us with reality. When we are patient, our energy is available to make good things happen…..
Hello everyone! Have not written in a while! But I’m back at it… well for today that is. lol I was talking to my mother the other day and she brought to my attention, sometimes I need to work on my approach aka “My Attitude” So that’s what I want to discuss today ❤️
Have you ever looked at how you react to a situation? Not just glance but really examine what you do and say. Have you ever looked at your attitude? Is it positive? Negative? Either way, sometimes life knocks us down, it can be because of family, and or friends. But, that’s the nature of the way things happen in life. Things do… and will go wrong. The question is, how are we suppose to go about handling things? Where do we even start? First things first, we have to make sure we have the right attitude. If we go into a situation with a bad attitude, that’s exactly what we are going to get!!
Have you ever pre-decided before meeting a person you are not going to like them? Or what about going to a family outing automatically assuming “It will be boring” The fact is, you usually find exactly what you expect to find. Your pre – dispositions determine beforehand the way you will see things. Quick example..
“There are two brothers, both married with a wife and kids. The first brother wakes up in the morning and looks at his wife. Her hair is in rollers, face covered with cleansing cream and there’s a rip in her robe. He thinks to himself, “Man, what on earth am I doing with this woman?” The second brother, wakes up in the morning, looks at his wife and sees her hair in rollers, cleansing cream on her face, and also a rip in her robe. But he thinks “ Look at this woman, She is amazing, she jumps up, fixes breakfast and gets the kids off to school all before she takes care of herself, she’s my beautiful wife!”
So guys what made the difference here in this situation???
ATTITUDE!!!!
Just from a little common sense and research we learn that our responses to things are more so based off our attitudes than by what others actually do.
Things are going to go wrong.. We know that! But it is up to us to turn things around, and keep trying. It’s kind of like a mouse in a maze. There’s a place to go in and go out.. but there are a lot of dead ends and walls. When you run into a brick wall in life, you have to change your attitude, your heart and your direction to make it right again. No one is perfect. But, its up to us to make things right, when things go wrong. Just remember, “I can do all things through Christ which strengthens me” – Philippians 4:13
