"The remarkable thing we have is 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." -Charles Swindoll

Embrace the fact that each day you have the ability to make the choice of what your attitude will be that day.

Not everyone will meet your expectations, they might not even act like a human being in some cases, but you can learn from even those that disappoint you. If nothing else, keeping the attitude you want in the face of their behavior is a great lesson.

Remember... "The ones that are the hardest to love are the ones who need it most." -Socrates

Chose your attitude today. Don't let anyone or anything change the note on your string.

You are at the top when…

You are at the top when…

Ø  You clearly understand that failure is an event, not a person, that yesterday ended last night, and today is your brand new day.

Ø  You have made friends with your past, are focused on the present, and optimistic about your future.

Ø  You know that success doesn't make you and failure doesn't break you.

Ø  You are filled with faith, hope and love; and live without anger, greed, guilt, envy or thoughts of revenge.

Ø  You are mature enough to delay gratification and shift your focus from your rights to your responsibilities.

Ø  You know that failure to stand for what is morally right is the prelude to being the victim of what is criminally wrong.

Ø  You are secure in who you are, so you are at peace with God and in fellowship with man.

Ø  You have made friends of your adversaries, and have gained the love and respect of those who know you best.

Ø  You understand that others can give you pleasure, but genuine happiness comes when you do things for others.

Ø  You are pleasant to the grouch, courteous to the rude and generous to the needy.

Ø  You love the unlovable, give hope to the hopeless, friendship to the friendless and encouragement to the discouraged.

Ø  You can look back in forgiveness, forward in hope, down in compassion and up with gratitude.

Ø  You know that "he who would be the greatest among you must become the servant of all."

Ø  You recognize, confess, develop and use your God-given physical, mental and spiritual abilities to the glory of God and for the benefit of mankind.

Ø  You stand in front of the Creator of the universe and He says to you, "Well done, thou good and faithful servant."

THE WINDOW

The Window

A young couple moves into a new neighborhood. The next morning, while they are eating breakfast, the young woman sees her neighbor hang the wash outside.

That laundry is not very clean, she said, she doesn’t know how to wash correctly.

Perhaps she needs a better laundry soap. Her husband looked on, but remained silent.

Every time her neighbor would hang her wash to dry, the young woman would make the same comments. About one month later, the woman was surprised to see a nice clean wash on the line and said to her husband: Look! She has learned how to wash correctly. I wonder who taught her this.

The husband said:  I got up early this morning and cleaned our windows!

And so it is with life:   What we see when watching others, depends on the purity of the window through which we look. Before we give any criticism, it might be a good idea to check our state of mind and ask ourselves if we are ready to see the good rather than  to be looking for something in the person we are about to judge.

And oh yes! I almost forgot…. I see you today much clearer than I did yesterday… And you?

Wishing you the best …
