Proverbs 23:7 declares, “For as a man thinks in his heart, so is he.” Either we control our thoughts, or our thoughts control us.
Concerning attitude, Charles Swindoll wrote, “The longer I live, the more I realize the major impact of attitude on life. Attitude is more important than facts. It is more important than the past, than education, than money, than circumstances, than failures, than successes, than what other people think or say or do. It is more important than appearance, giftedness, or skill. It will make or break a company, a church, a home, or an individual. I am convinced that life is 10 percent what happens to me and 90 percent how I react to it.”
Attitude determines what we see, how we see it, and how we respond or react to each situation. Waldo Emerson said, “What lies behind us and what lies before us are, but tiny matters compared to what lies within us.”
Since your attitude is so important, here are some ways to begin an attitude adjustment: Speak the right words, think the right thoughts, read the right books, beginning with the Bible, listen to the right recordings, hang out with the right people, do the right things, receive godly counsel, and pray the right prayers. We can always ask God to help us through the difficult experiences of life. He will do it!
