Attitude Determines Altitude

ATTITUDE DETERMINES ALTITUDE

Unlike some things in life, we can choose our outlook. Sometimes we just
need a reminder that happiness can often simply be a result of choosing
attitudes:

"I woke up early today, excited over all I get to do before the clock
strikes midnight. I have responsibilities to fulfill today. My job is
to choose what kind of day I am going to have.

"Today I can complain because the weather is rainy or I can be thankful
that the grass is getting watered for free.

"Today I can feel sad that I don't have more money or I can be glad that
my finances encourage me to plan my purchases wisely and guide me away
from waste.

"Today I can grumble about my health or I can rejoice that I am alive.

"Today I can lament over all that my parents didn't give me when I was
growing up or I can feel grateful that they allowed me to be born.

"Today I can cry because roses have thorns or I can celebrate that
thorns have roses.

"Today I can mourn my lack of friends or I can excitedly embark upon a
quest to discover new relationships.

"Today I can whine because I have to go to work or I can shout for joy
because I have a job to do.

"Today I can complain because I have to go to school or eagerly open my
mind and fill it with rich new tidbits of knowledge.

"Today I can murmur dejectedly because I have to do housework or I can
feel honored because God has provided shelter for my mind, body, and
soul.

"Today stretches ahead of me, waiting to be shaped. And here I am, the
sculptor who gets to do the shaping. What today will be like is up to
me.

"I get to choose what kind of day I will have!" (Author unknown)
