The Canadian Champion, Frîday, May 27, 2005 - B1 3 k/'t ATTITUDE DETERMINES ALTITUDE! 1 am reminded of the story of the litIle boy ovecheard talking to himself as he strutted through the backyard, basebail cap in place, toting bal and bat. "l'm the greatest basebaîl player in the world, "he said proudlly. Then he tossed the bail into the air, swung at it - and missed. Undaunted, he picked up the bail, threw it inta the air and, as he said f0 himself, "l'm the greatest bail player ever!" ho swung at the bail again. And again he missed. Ho paused a moment ta carefully examine his bat and bail. With determination, once again ho threw the bail into the air: "l'm the greatest basebaîl player wha ever lived!" he said. He swung the bat hard and again, ho missed the bail. "WowI'he exclaimed. "Whatapitcherl" There's nothing in the world like a positive mental attitude. It can transfarm situations and experiences in lite inta great possibilities. A minus sign can become a plus sign with the proper stroke. A healthy attitude is vital when seeking ta rebound from life's letdowns. How do you maintain your self-respect? How do you salvage your self-esteem? How do you preserve your human dignity? How can you cecover tram shame? Important questions! Hors are several practical principles that could help you sail towards success: 1. Stop beating Up on yourse/t! Right thinking /eads ta right action! 2. Look ait what you have /ett, not at what you have /ost! Perspective is important! 3. constant/y eva/uate your assets and be ready ta use them at every opportunity. There may be a mirac/e in your house that you have over/ooked. 4. Attitude determines a/titude! As you reach tor your dreams, there is nothing that is more crucial than a positive attitude! Passessing a good attitude begins by believing in Gad and recognizing that He believes in you. What we believe does matter! What we believe impacts upon our way of thinking! n turn, aur way of thinking affects our attitude. Jeremiah 29:11 records, "For 1 know the plans 1 have for you, " declares the LORD, "plans la prosper you and naît ta harm you, plans ta g/va you hope and a future. " God sees you as a beautiful persan! He loves you and believes in you! Someone summed up Godas passion for humanity this way: It God had a refrigerator, your picture wou/d be on if. It He had a wal/et, your photo wou/d be in it He sends you t/owers every spring. He sends you a sunrise every morning. Wheneveryou want ta ta/k, He listens. He can live anywhere in the un/verse, but He chose ta live in ... your heart! Face i, triend - He is crazy about you! God didn't promise days wit/tout pain, /aughter without sorrow, suri w/t/tout ca/fl, but He did promise strength tor the day, comtort for the tears, and /ight tor the way- Believe if! And let it impact upon your attitude! Ta learn more about how significantly a personal relationship with God can touch upon your lite, visit a local church near you!
