Attitude

I was listening to a LifeTrac last week and it really made things clear to me about my attitude, it is a choice. There are so many people who are in a much worse situation than I am and have a far better attitude than me. Have you seen the photo's of kids living in poor situations in Africa? They seem to be always smiling, ever seen the people with special needs who laughs so loud the world seems to hear and does it without a care in the world?

These people are putting aside whatever life has dealt them and made a conscious decision to choose a good attitude, we can do the same but we often don't. It seems we let pride and selfishness get in the way and when we do that they are allowed to shape our attitude. Chuck Swindoll tells a great story about Bad Attitude which you can listen to by clicking here  I know that I sometimes choose a bad attitude, but know it is a choice and I can change it, I think I just have to remind myself of those kids in Africa...
