“This is the day the Lord has made; we will rejoice and be glad in it.” –Psalms 118:24
I once heard it said that “attitude determines your altitude,” which means, your attitude is dependant on how much success you have in your life or how much you allow yourself to be held back. Attitude is that powerful. On the same side, it’s a choice you make. You choose whatever moment you’re in if you are going to fight the negative emotions and choose to have a good attitude or decide to walk around with a negative vibe. Deciding to think positive helps bring success to your day.
It’s like the old principle that says “when you’re feeling sad, try smiling,” because eventually it’ll change how you feel to some degree. Attitude is contagious. It can set you up for a horrible day or for good things to come your way. Your attitude can either lift those up around you or it can bring them down. Just like an elevator, are you a person who lifts people up around you or are you the person taking them down? Take a second to think about this question and do some inner reflection. Are you taking people up with you, or are you taking them down?
A true leader of men decides to take care of his responsibility and keeps his word no matter how he feels. Feelings lie. Determine today to be a man of your word regardless of the outcome. A leader has the attitude of taking care of his duty and the way to do that is through a positive outlook, attitude, and determination to be true to his word. Don’t cowardly walk away from something you gave your word to do; unless of course it was the wrong thing for you to do in the first place but in that kind of situation, ask God for wisdom. Determine to overcome negative emotions and stay positive to reach your goals you set for your day to accomplish what needs to be done. Be true to your responsibility. God has given you this day; make the most of it!
A man’s word is his bond.
