Attitude - It Shapes Your Heart



Philippians 2:5

Next to knowing Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior, nothing is more important than having a good positive attitude. Your attitude can:

MAKE OR BREAK YOU
HEAL OR HURT YOU
MAKE YOU FRIENDS OR MAKE YOU ENEMIES
MAKE YOU HAPPY OR MAKE YOU MISERABLE
MAKE YOU A SUCCESS OR MAKE YOU A FAILURE

"Your attitude (your mind set) should be the same as that of Christ Jesus" (Philippians 2:5)

The longer I live, the more I realize the impact of attitude on life. Attitude, to me, is more important than facts. It is more important than the past, than education, than money, than circumstances, than failures, than successes, than what other people think or say or do. It is more important than appearance, giftedness or skill. It will make or break a company. . .a church. . .a home.

The remarkable thing is we have a choice every day regarding the attitude we will embrace for that day. We cannot change our past... We cannot change the fact that people will act in a certain way. We cannot change the inevitable. 

The only thing we can do is play on the one string we have, and that is our attitude. I am convinced that life is 10% what happens to me and 90% how I react to it. 

And so it is with you. . .we are in charge of our Attitudes.

Someone had rightly said that "attitude not aptitude determines ones altitude in life."
