Attitude by Harold Vaughan "There is little difference in people, but that little difference makes a big difference. The little difference is attitude." --Clement Stone A turtle gets nowhere until it sticks its neck out. A tea kettle is up to its neck in hot water, but it still sings. A kite rises against the wind, not with it. Adversity is the refiner's fire that burns the impurities from our souls. Everybody encounters difficulties, but few approach their problems with a proper outlook. What happens to you is not nearly as important as how you respond. You can learn to maintain a good viewpoint regardless of what happens. Attitude is an inward feeling expressed by your behavior. People can often detect your attitude, even if you don't speak a word. The most important decision you make each morning is what kind of attitude you will have during the day. David was discouraged when he penned, "Why art thou cast down, O my soul? and why art thou disquieted in me?" (Ps. 42:5a). He asked himself, "Why am I discouraged? Why am I so restless?" David spoke to his own soul. People often think that talking to themselves is a bad sign. But on occasion, we need to look ourselves square in the face and talk to ourselves. David said, "Why art thou cast down, O my soul? . . . hope thou in God: for I shall yet praise him for the help of his countenance (Ps. 42:5). If we wouldn't think of sitting around all day and listening to trash talk on TV, then we should stop listening to trash talk coming out of our souls! "Nobody cares about me." "So and so was ugly to me, so I'll be ugly to him!" "Nobody knows all the trouble I've known." We must put a stop to garbage self-talk. When we start feeling sorry for ourselves, we should preach to our own souls. We should stop listening to ourselves and start talking to ourselves like David did. Consider This: Talk about the importance of attitude.
