A Good Attitude

i realized while i was versehunting last night that my recent posts have had a trend of being rather morose. haha. i mean, i hope most of them were ultimately positive for you all.. buut theyre all based off of troubles? HAHA. anywhoo, hoping to divert..

"You were taught, with regard to your former way of life,... to be made new in the attitude of your minds" - Ephesians 4:23

"My comfort in my suffering is this: Your promise preserves my life." -Psalm 119:50

-THAT is a good attitude. i think it's important to seek out the positive things in life when you're surrounded by nothing but negativity. difficult? yes. impossible? no. what i realized, from real-life examples, is that once you get on the selfpity ball, it all just snowballs into a bigger, angrier, more depressed, woe-is-me, ball.

so next time you're feeling self-depreciative. think of something positive. like, oh i dunno, God promising you everlasting life with him? haha.

i dont really know how else to emphasize this... but i just think attitude really gauges what kind of day you're going to have/ the overall mood(?) of your life? like people that are very selfconcious/ sensitive always take a small thing and make it into a huge deal. and then they worry and they think too much and they end up being constantly worried and hurt by little things others say. and consequently, they think every day is a bad day. did that make sense?

so i challenge you all to change your attitude and be more positive this week! especially with all this college madness... it'll be hard but not impossible ;)
