Attitude. What is it?
An attitude is a way of thinking that you can express just by standing a certain way.
It's a choice each of us makes to look at life in certain ways, thus determines the atmosphere of our environment and the way we interact with each other and other people.
Some people you met and would still meet while you are alive were or are either those you can call pessimists or optimists.
The pessimists claim they were born and grew up with an inappropriate disposition. There is always something wrong with everything. Nothing works for them. Everything is a failure.
While others are a joy to be with as they are just awesomely happy, exciting, and full of hopes.
Perhaps you and your siblings were surrounded with an abundance of gratitude being expressed as a way of life while other children seem to be on a different path altogether.
Some have a sore and gloomy disposition while others can be amazingly cheerful, grateful, and kind.
We don't inherit attitudes of gratitude from anyone. Not even from our parents. We demonstrate gratitude when we choose to do so.
You can only display that type of attitude if you have it in you, otherwise no matter how blessed you are and how fortunate you are, if you didn't see your life emerging towards those abundances, you will never appreciate any of it.
You can choose to either be thankful and look with wonder for the best and the blessings of what you have or you can moan and groan and complain until the sun sets down on you.
The choice is still yours.
You can make a choice to criticize, condemn, ignore and take for granted what you have or experience or you can jump with excitement and give thanks for another beautiful and wonderful day of your life.
Gratitude unexpressed and never fully experienced by you or others is wasted especially if it was kept from everyone. A sense of gratitude is contagious and it magnifies the bright attitude of others.
From being a child we were taught to say thank you. It is so important to teach the same way to your children so they will develop that attitude of gratefulness as they grew up and also give thanks for all that they are, for all that they do, and for all that they have.
Again and again, you see in my writings about giving thanks always whether small or big accomplishments. You can never ever give thanks enough.
And so thank you ever so much, my WA Family for your precious time reading my blog post.
What are you thankful for? Take a few moments, meditate on them and write your answers.
Could it be there is some gratitude that needs expression in a phone call, email, or in any other messaging medium?
What about a personal thank you to those who care about you and you tend to neglect and avoiding contact with?
When was the last time you said thank you to your Mom and Dad? to your other siblings? to the other people who helped you up while you are growing up?
When did you ever express gratitude to the people here in WA, Kyle, Carson, and Jay, your support team, the admin, and others who had and still have been there for you in your journey here in WA?
What about giving thanks to your other family members, relatives, friends, neighbors, and others in your cycle?
What are your children or your spouse or partner thankful for?
I wonder what will happen when you look at your child or your spouse or partner and say, "I'm thankful for you!"
Ask each family member today what he or she is thankful for. Never take one another for granted, but let everyone know your heartfelt thanks.
If it's difficult to see what you can be thankful for, begin to look with your new eyes - with the One perspective. Ask to illumine the eyes of your heart and let you see clearly.
God blesses all of you!
I love you all dearly and I am so grateful to God for all of you for being a golden part of my amazing journey here in WA.
