Power and Purpose Blog Series: The Power of Your Attitude, The Blame Game

For you to blame your bad attitudes on another person or on a difficult circumstance is simply a cop-out.   If you allow events and people to cause you to be negative, you are only hurting yourselves more.  In addition to everything else you are now forced to live with the effects and misery your bad attitudes will bring.

Take time out with yourself!  The reality is that YOU help create the atmosphere in which you live by the words you speak.  When your words are positive, you produce a creative, loving, accepting, positive environment.

Power and Purpose Blog Series: The Power of Your Attitude, It's Your Choice

You can’t choose what will happen to you today (it’s beyond your control), but you can choose your own attitude.  We each have the power to decide how we will respond to what happens to us. 

Maybe right now you are feeling pretty broken, your life has taken way too many turns for the worse. A lot of things have gone wrong. It seems like everything has fallen right down on top of you. You’re weary, overwhelmed and your hopes & dreams are fading fast over the distant horizon.

No matter what has happened to you (tough times, bad marriages, health, financial disparity, etc.), the attitude choice though is still yours.  You must understand that Jesus Christ wants to help you choose and cultivate a positive attitude.

Power and Purpose Blog Series: The Power of Your Attitude, Jar of Water with a Loose Lid

Your attitude affects every relationship in your life, and sometimes relationships will never get started in the first place because your attitude has built up walls.  Walls that make it difficult for people to be around you.

Bad attitudes effect your marriage relationships, relationship with your kids, work, church and friends.

The thing that makes a bad attitude so destructive is that like a jar of water with the loose lid on it.  A bad attitude is eventually going to spill out into some negative actions, destructive words and deeds.

Power and Purpose Blog Series: The Power of Your Attitude, Jack-in-the-Box

Your attitudes always become actions or reactions.

The attitudes inside you are like a Jack-in-the-Box.  You turn the little handle, and when you least expect it - he pops out. Now that’s a vivid picture of our attitude, when we least expect it, attitudes will pop out and cause other people to like or dislike us.

Much louder than the words you speak is your attitude that keeps telling people what you are really like.
