Being positive with a good attitude

Hello everyone,
 
I hope and pray that your day goes well. Today is a new day so let’s make the best of it all by deciding to be positive.  Yesterday, I elaborated on peace because we’ve been blessed with a second chance to live this journey by God and it’s wonderful when we can enjoy this life with God’s grace and mercy. We control what we do and our good intentions and actions will contribute to the outcome of how our day will turn out. Being positive and having a good attitude on life will have good results throughout our journey.
 
In life, there will be a lot of distractions but we as Christians must hold it together to benefit The Body of Christ.  When we fall, someone else falls and the goal is to be an example and show hope.  Being positive even through the most difficult situations, is a win win scenario.  We win as well as other people that we deal with throughout our day because when we look at life in a positive way, it helps all of us.  I told you that peace and joy come when we take one day at a time so let’s continue to stay positive each day even when others are negative and keep it going.  In other words, think before we act and don’t let situations or others take you out of your character.
 
The main thing to do for ourselves and others is to pray and ask God to give us all strength and wisdom to understand things so that we don’t lose sight of the mission set by Him.  People will always be people and like I said before we don’t have control over others, but we do have control over what we do.  I know sometimes people can do way too much but in order for us to show love and allow our light to shine, we have to have a good attitude and know that we can’t change an individual, but we can be an example of God’s love.
 
I had mentioned in a previous wisdom that when we do three things, we’re on the right path to fulfilling God’s mission and gaining peace and they are:  Loving God, Loving Yourself and Loving People.  In order to understand that, we have to be able to see through God’s lenses.  If we do that, we will always be positive and have peace. Our attitude plays a vital role in how our day goes and how we accomplish anything, let alone serve and follow the mission by God. We have got to put Him first and know why we’re here and we have to have a good attitude to love being here to serve.  Let’s not sweat the small stuff and again be that light to others.  Let’s be leaders for God because it starts with us. We can’t expect anything good to happen if we’re not being an example ourselves and that’s real talk.
 
God gives us the opportunity to make choices and to do whatever we want to do and most of the time, we put stress on ourselves by not being positive or having a good attitude in life.  It’s how we respond to others and situations that allows us to stay focused on God’s mission. We don’t know what people are going through so let’s continue to love so that we’re serving and not letting others to control us.  When we react in a negative way towards others, we’re giving control to the other person, and they are witnessing our behavior.  This is very important to understand because when we’re not positive, we’re damaging The Body of Christ. When that happens, it doesn’t benefit any of us in the long run. Communication is everything so let’s continue to listen to others, be sensitive to others and be that representation for God by showing that unconditional love and having a positive attitude towards ourselves and others.
 
Please take time out and read the bible passage as well as the poems below that relates to our actions in how we carry ourselves as well as dealing with others on our journey. Also, if you have time, click on the link below that talks about asking God to make us better people for ourselves and for others.
 
Philippians 1:27
Only conduct yourselves worthy of Christ, so that, whether I come and see you or am absent, I may hear good news of you, that you are standing firm in one spirit, with one mind struggling together for the faith of the gospel. Not intimidated by your opponent.  This is proof to them of destruction, but of your salvation and this is God’s doing. For to you has been granted, for the sake of Christ, not only to believe in Him but also to suffer for Him.  Amen

ATTITUDE
Attitude is something in our control you see
It takes you wherever you want to be
 
It can block you and stop you
From achieving in life and to do
 
Whatever you would like to do in life
It’s up to you to control your attitude with all of your might
 
Whatever path you chose to follow growing up
Don’t blame other people for your stuff
 
When people upset you and try to bring you down
Stand up tall with a smile not a frown
 
People will always be people these days
You have to learn how to get over things always
 
You can meet your goals each day
If you don’t allow other people to get in your way
 
Each of us has a chance to succeed
The opportunities are there for you if you want to achieve

I've seen people who have great potential
But they let their attitude control them instead of meeting their credentials
 
Have control over your attitude be a leader
If you’re negative, you will never be an achiever
 
You can follow your dreams, I mean that too
Control your attitude and do what’s best for you.

EPHESIANS 4:31
Let all bitterness, wrath, anger, clamor, and evil speaking be put away from you, with all malice.

PEOPLE
People are everywhere we go
We have to deal with people in order to grow
 
In strength, courage and love
You know this is coming from God above
 
Love people, it doesn’t matter what they do
Show them how much God loves you
 
By forgiving and allowing your light to shine
For them to see God all the time
 
Sometimes people hurt us and we feel bad
Don’t allow people to control you, don’t get mad
 
Communicate with them and let them know
That you are in control and always show
 
Others the importance of having a good soul
Don’t get upset when people are mean, stay in control
 
We all are here to love and help each other you see​
To enjoy this life and to always be
 
A child of God to do his will
To love your neighbor and always keep still.
 
MATTHEW 22:39
You shall love your neighbor as yourself.
