Just one more thing: Attitude is all important - Dexter H Faulkner - December 30, 1985

Dexter H Faulkner

Our attitude is how we think, act or feel toward something - God, a person or a thing. Our lives are shaped by our attitudes. We translate into physical (or spiritual) reality the thoughts and attitudes we hold in our minds, no matter what they are. If we have a good, positive attitude we will accomplish much. Over the years we have tried to teach this principle to our children: If you take the attitude that you cannot do something, you generally will not do it. With an attitude of failure you're defeated, whipped before you start. On the other hand, whenever you find a person doing an outstanding job you'll find a person with a right attitude. These people take the attitude that they can accomplish whatever they set out to. Take on Christ's attitude. Paul wrote about attitude in his letter to the Philippians. "Each of you should look not only to your own interests, but also to the interests of others. Your attitude should be the same as that of Christ Jesus" (Philippians 2:4-5, New International Version). - Information Supplied By: Herbert W Armstrong Library
