Lately, I have been thinking about my attitude towards everything that happens in my life. I have been considering how I react to things now, and what that reveals about my attitude. I also read part of 7 Habits of Highly Effective Teens today, for my youth ministry class (lots of wisdom coming from the reading for that class), and some of one of the chapters was discussing attitude. I realized that I really need to work on having a better attitude towards so many aspects of my life. I need to realize that I can't really control exactly what happens to me, but I can control how I react to what happens to me. This made me think about 1 Thessalonians 5:16-18, which reads "Rejoice always. Pray continually, give thanks in all circumstances; for this is God's will for you in Christ Jesus." I find that I tend to look at negative aspects of situations, and dwell on negative thoughts. I realize that this is really hurting myself, as I need to be able to view every day as a gift from God. I need to be a proactive thinker, and I need to be able to bounce back when something bad happens, and always find a way to make things happen if I want them to. I want to change from a "no-can-do" mentality to a "can-do" mentality. I want to be positive, I want to live my life to the fullest, with an attitude that best serves the world and those around me!!!
In light of this positive attitude, tomorrow is a snow day!!!!!!!! :) This NEVER happens here!!! It's incredible: I can't wait for a day to rest and no classes!!
Thank you IWU!!!!
