What
outlook are we carrying forth into the day ahead? Are we feeling
fearful about the circumstances confronting us? Do we dread a planned
meeting? Are we worried about the welfare of a friend or lover? Whatever
our present outlook, its power over the outcome of our day is profound.
Our attitude in regard to any situation attracting our attention
influences the outcome. Sometimes to our favor, often to our disfavor if
our attitude is negative.
Thankfulness toward life guarantees the rewards we desire, the rewards we seek too often from an ungrateful stance. The feeling of gratitude is foreign to many of us.
We came to
this program feeling worthless, sometimes rejected, frequently
depressed. It seemed life had heaped problems in our laps, and so it
had. The more we lamented what life "gave us," the more reasons we were
given to lament. We got just what we expected. We still get just what we
expect. The difference is that the program has offered us the key to
higher expectations. Gratitude for the good in our lives increases the
good.Thankfulness toward life guarantees the rewards we desire, the rewards we seek too often from an ungrateful stance. The feeling of gratitude is foreign to many of us.
I have the personal power to influence my day; I will make it a good one.
