All About Attitude

"Happiness is an attitude.  We either make ourselves miserable, or happy and strong.  The amount of work is the same."

- Francesca Reigler

Greatness

"Popular and rich doesn’t equal greatness."

- A quote from A Conversation with God by Billy Coffey on his blog What I Learned Today

Keep Gripping The Steering Wheel

"I realize my kids drift toward bad attitudes, toward discontentment, toward selfishness.

And being the little mirrors they are, so do I. Maybe even more than they do. Because as an adult, there is just so much more to be discontent, frustrated and self-absorbed about.

I drift toward a snotty attitude toward the lady who hits me at Disneyland with her purse because she’s messing with her phone.

I drift toward a selfishness at the end of the day when my husband needs me to take care of the kids alone because he has to work late.

I drift toward frustration when I think about all the things that bug me about ________ or _________.

But I don’t want to let myself drift. I want to grip the steering wheel, focus on the end of the road and will myself, make myself, and allow God to guide me and carry me to drive the straight line.

Leaving Better

"Let no one ever come to you without leaving better and happier."

- Mother Teresa

Letting Go Of The Junk

"...Americans do need to lighten up. But not in our attitudes toward consuming things we don't need, but in letting go of the junk (stuff we don't need!) and habits (poor eating!) that we've sadly become addicted to."

- An excerpt from Dear Joyce Meyer (A Blog Post) by Matthew on his blog Jesus Needs New PR
