What's Your Attitude?

 Everyone has an attitude.  For some people the plentitude of their attitudes force you to have a magnitude of latitude from them otherwise you may find yourself in servitude.  It's great when people have good and cooperative attitudes.  Unlike ...

 " ... the little girl with the curl in the middle of her forehead.  When she was good, she was very, very good but when she was bad, she was horrid." 

 Sounds unstable, unpredictable and uncooperative.

My Mom used to say that to me.  Always wondered why because I did not have any curls and especially not in the middle of my forehead.  I'd shrug it off like water off a duck's back.

She never did explain it but maybe I had some not so good attitudes.  Hmmm...

When people have good attitudes its like living in a beatitude with them. They are gracious and kind and cooperative.  It's really pleasant to be in their company.  On the other hand, when a person is uncoopertive it's quite a trial.

Attitudes start in the mind.  A person's mindset will often show up on their face, in body language and in their behavior.  Good thoughts and feelings will travel down to the heart and come out as good and helpful behavior.  Similarly, the bad thoughts produce bad behavior.

If a person is a follower of Jesus Christ, they will know that He wants us to have good attitudes; a daily governing attitude.  He wants us to imitate Him and His. 

"Let this mind be in you as is also in Christ Jesus" (Philippians 2:5 ESV).

The NIV Bible reads,

"Your attitude should be the same as that of Christ Jesus" (NIV).

Both versions tell us what we need to know and how we, as believers, should be living.

When we imitate Jesus' attitude of humility we will be right everytime.  We will be humble, good and kind and more.  Jesus is our standard.  Let's change and transform to measure up to Him.

What's your attitude?
