Someone shared this with me: CAN YOU REALLY CHANGE YOUR ATTITUDE? Grumble, grumble…if I ever… Ill never… did you hear what he/she said or did? Ill never forgive… Ill never speak… They will never get invited to my….. Youve probably met folks with a bad case of the Grumbles. It seems that no matter what happens they are never happy and sometimes they seem to take delight in making others unhappy. There has to be an answer for this… doesnt there? Is it possible to change your attitude, I mean really change it? Ive had some folks with fairly nasty dispositions tell me, Thats just the way I am and I cant change it. Is that true? A reader of my writings, Reg, shared Job 9:27 with me, where Job says: I changed my expression and smiled (NIV) How can this be true? I believe its because no matter what happens God is still in control, and if I can remember that, I CAN change my expression and smile! Granted I never said it would be an easy thing to do, but I believe it is possible. You remember the old saying, Garbage in, garbage out. In other words, what you put into your life, your heart, will most likely be the same sort of thing that comes out of your life and heart. It affects relationships to friends; it affects families; it affects our relationship to God. David voices a conscious decision in Psalms 118:24 This is the day the LORD has made. We will rejoice and be glad in it. The question for each of us, to consider is, What are you putting into your life and heart? I dont know about you, but I really want to have a good attitude. I really want to have good relationships with my friends, family and my God. Because of that, I try really hard to put only the best stuff into my life. I control what television programs I watch, I control what movies I go to, I control what books I read, I control the type of music to which I listen, I control who I associate with. You see, each of us is in control of our lives; its just that sometimes we hand control of it over to others.
