Have A Winning Attitude!

Finally, brothers, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable - if anything is excellent or praiseworthy - think about such things.
Philippians 4:8

Not much can stop you when you’ve the right attitude and not much can help you when you haven’t! If you want to maintain a winning attitude, learn to focus on your opportunities, not your rights. One of the biggest causes of discontent is our constant fight to ‘secure our rights’. Think: have you ever been wronged? Have there been times when you haven’t gotten everything you deserved? Sure! We live in an imperfect world and so long as we do, we won’t see a time when everything we do is justly rewarded. So you’re faced with a decision. Are you going to spend your time and energy on what should have been, or get over it and focus on what can be? Even when truth and justice are on your side, you may never be able to right all your wrongs. Continually fighting for your rights in an imperfect world can cause you to be angry and resentful, because these destructive emotions sap your energy and make you negative. And besides, when you focus on your rights you’re usually looking backward. Right? You can’t make progress when you’re facing the wrong way! Only when you turn your focus in the right direction can you begin to move forward. Now, this doesn’t mean you don’t recognize injustice, it just means you choose to forgive it and focus on what you can control - your attitudes and your opportunities. Living this way increases your energy, builds your potential, and takes the limits off your future!
