Attitude shaped daily reality - influencing your mental health, relationships and success

Attitude effects everything

 A bad attitude in just one person can be spread like the flu through a group.  On the other hand, a positive and encouraging attitude can lift an entire organization to a new level of belief and anticipation.  Always remember that attitude “leaks” and affects everyone who comes in contact with it.

 negative attitude gives you a negative perspective that produces negative impressions, which in turn validate and reinforce your critical viewpoint.  A bad attitude will frequently create negative outcomes that tend to feed more negative thinking. The result is in an unending negative cycle.  It’s a trap! 

Selfishness is an inordinate self love, prompting one, for the sake of personal gratification or advantage, to disregard the rights or feelings of other men. It is a negative quality — that is, it consists in not considering what is due to one's neighbors through a deficiency of justice or benevolence. Selfishness is contrary to the Scriptures, which command us to have respect for the rights and feelings of others, and forbids us to encroach thereupon.

Whereas selfish ambition pursues personal goals, empty conceit seeks personal glory and acclaim. The former pertains to personal accomplishments; the latter to an over inflated self-image. Understandably, a person with such conceit considers himself always to be right and expects others to agree with him. The only unity he seeks or values is centered on himself

Humility was considered to be a vice with Greek pagan moralists, but a virtue with Christian apostles. The Greco Roman world considered humility to be groveling or abject and thus held it in considerable contempt. So Paul is going counter to his culture which said that to be low on the social scale, to know poverty, or to be socially powerless was shameful.

New Living Translation Chapter 4

throw off your old sinful nature and your former way of life, which is corrupted by lust and deception. 23 Instead, let the Spirit renew your thoughts and attitudes. 24 Put on your new nature, created to be like God—truly righteous and holy

New Living Translation Chapter 3

For God presented Jesus as the sacrifice for sin. People are made right with God when they believe that Jesus sacrificed his life, shedding his blood

New Living Translation Chapter 13

16 And don’t forget to do good and to share with those in need. These are the sacrifices that please God

2 Corinthians 4:17 “For momentary, light affliction is producing for us an eternal weight of glory far beyond all comparison,”

Proverbs 24:16 “For a righteous man falls seven times, and rises again, But the wicked stumble in time of calamity.”
