The Right Attitude

I am sure you are eager to know what the right attitude is. Let me illustrate with this story:

A well-known speaker started off his seminar by holding up a $20.00 bill. In the room of 200, he asked, "Who would like this $20 bill?" Hands started going up. He said, "I am going to give this $20 to one of you but first, let me do this. He proceeded to crumple up the $20 dollar bill. He then asked, "Who still wants it?" Still the hands were up in the air. Well, he replied, "What if I do this?" And he dropped it on the ground and started to grind it into the floor with his shoe. He picked it up, now crumpled and dirty. "Now, who still wants it?" Still the hands went into the air. My friends, we have all learned a very valuable lesson. No matter what I did to the money, you still wanted it because it did not decrease in value. It was still worth $20. Many times in our lives, we are dropped, crumpled, and ground into the dirt by the decisions we make and the circumstances that come our way. We feel as though we are worthless. But no matter what has happened or what will happen, you will never lose your value. Dirty or clean, crumpled or finely creased, you are still priceless to those who DO LOVE you. The worth of our lives comes not in what we do or who we know, but by WHO WE ARE. You are special- Don't EVER forget it." And remember: amateurs built the ark ... professionals built the Titanic. If God brings you to it - He will bring you through it.

No matter what you face or go through in life, whether good or bad you are still valuable. Dont be weighed down by your failures and inadequacies. We all fall sometimes. Thats why we're humanbeings.

See with the help of the binoculars: The right attitude is to get back up everytime you fall and to know that there is a better tomorrow. Dont give up on yourself, Life would always get better provided you give yourself a chance. You are Valuable regardless of the personal struggles you are contending with.

    Your attitude determines your altitude.

    How far do u want to go in life? The only way to be the best in life is to maintain a right ( Possitive) attitude to every situation you find yourself in life.

    The right attitude is to give what you would like to receive, and to be happy when someone else attains the height you crave.

    Sounds Funny right!
