Attitude Attitude Attitude!

Attitudes Are Contagious...

I’m not sure about you, but I have noticed that there are some people I'd rather be with than others. Primarily, it is due to their attitude. There are people who always seem to have a positive, loving, and kind attitude; they speak words of love and show acts of kindness and generosity, and these attitudes are contagious. I recently read “Attitudes are contagious, is ours worth catching?” I love this because it is true that we should focus on our own attitudes rather than others'.

Do We Attract or Repel?

Do I have an attitude that attracts others or repels others? Instead of criticizing others' attitudes, I should focus only on my own. It helps to wake up in the morning, check my attitude, and if it's not what I want to project to others, make an attitude adjustment. I cannot do this alone. When I wake up, I need to connect with the God of my understanding to see if my attitude aligns with what I want to carry into the day. Then, I set my intention for the day ahead—to be the person God created me to be.

Where to Focus

During the day, if I find that my actions are not aligned with my intention, I need to ask God for help in adjusting my attitude so that they are. Also, throughout the day, I need to remember that I only have to worry about my attitude, not yours. When I focus inward instead of outward, I can grow and become someone I would want to be around, and hopefully, someone others want to be with as well.

In One Spirit,

Check in with yourself and YOUR attitude right now. Is the energy attracting or repelling? Is it time to ask God for help with an "attitude adjustment"?
