Today's
Meditation:
Attitude.
What an important topic it is, and how difficult it can be
to keep it foremost in our minds. What kind of
attitude are we giving to the world each day? What is
our attitude telling other people about the way that we see
life and living, and even them? How are people
supposed to respond to our attitudes? Often, their
responses tell us that they may not see the same attitude
that we think we're sharing.
People
see our true attitudes towards life when we face trials and
adversity. That's when the "show" that many
people put on is put aside, and that person's true
attitude shines through, for good or for bad. And when
that happens, we often see that the true attitude very often
has caused the very problems that have brought it out for
the world to see.
What
many people don't realize is that we can change our
attitudes towards life. It takes some work, but it can
be done. The more we accept other people and their
faults and quirks, the less judgmental we become. The
more we decide to share the goodness that's within us, the
less selfish we become, and the less likely we are to hoard
or hang on to material things. The more we learn about
other people's emotional or physical problems, the more
understanding and compassionate we become.
Your
attitude is one of your gifts to the world, all day, every
day. What kind of gift do you give? And is it a
gift that remains steady no matter what happens to you?
