Do you enjoy life as it unfolds? Unfortunately most people don't or they at least live a life with as little joy shown as possible. And as we see them, we wonder . . . Why is that? Well, we can speculate or at least take a good hard look at ourselves. Are you one who others would call joyous? Or happy? Or pleasant? Or are you more of a sour puss or what some would call 'A nasty one'? Or a mix of it all from time 2 time? If you are like me, you probably fit mostly in the 'mix' status and that is okay. |
As for me – I'm working on my attitude and with that, my gratitude.
That then requires me to take things out of my normal reaction mode and to engage my 'gain a better perspective' mode. For when I do so, I see that I appreciate others more, I gain a better awareness to situations, and I realize that people and events are often more complicated then what I may be aware of. And you know what? I don't have to understand it all or even have to like
everything that is happening.
I control my thoughts, words and actions and I am choosing to pursue the positive. And as I sit here today, I know my life is not perfect but it is pretty good and in that, I do thank God for all His blessings. How about you and your life? And remember Psalm 118:24 . . . This is the day that the Lord has made, let us rejoice and be glad in it. |
