Attitude Check

This morning I feel as if God has said, "honey you need to check your attitude" I've been feeling sick lately and I haven't even been worried about my attitude. I'm sure it hasn't been good, and I know I have left it unchecked. I am bothered by my carelessness. Who has been affected by my unfriendly, grouchy, not very nice attitude? My family for sure, and who knows who I've come in contact with these last few days/weeks. By the way... when was the last time I checked my attitude? What a scary thought!

I love what Charles Swindoll said about attitude:

Words can never adequately convey the incredible impact of our attitude toward life. The longer I live the more convinced I become that life is 10 percent what happens to us and 90 percent how we respond to it.I believe the single most significant decision I can make on a day-to-day basis is my choice of attitude. It is more important than my past, my education, my bankroll, my successes or failures, fame or pain, what other people think of me or say about me, my circumstances, or my position. Attitude keeps me going or cripples my progress. It alone fuels my fire or assaults my hope. When my attitudes are right, there's no barrier too high, no valley too deep, no dream too extreme, no challenge too great for me. --by Charles R. Swindoll
