Attitudes, Behaviors and Habits

Phillipians 2:5 "Your attitude should be the same as that of Christ Jesus"

Another reason to study the Bible, and Christ's character, so that we can be more like him.  Mounds of research shows how attitude is directly affective on behavior and has links to our health.  More and more chronic illnesses and increases in behavioral issues can be positively impacted by changing the attitudes of the families and communities the afflicted live in.                              

                                                                  ATTITUDE


                                                           by: Charles Swindoll

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.

                                               More great quotes by Charles R. Swindoll


We are all faced with a series of great opportunities brilliantly disguised as impossible situations.


We cannot change our past. We can not change the fact that people act in a certain way. We can not change the inevitable. The only thing we can do is play on the one string we have, and that is our attitude.

When I think of vision, I have in mind the ability to see above and beyond the majority.

When you have vision it affects your attitude. Your attitude is optimistic rather than pessimistic.

Words can never adequately convey the incredible impact of our attitudes toward life. The longer I live the more convinced I become that life is 10 percent what happens to us and 90 percent how we respond to it.

Our human minds are wonderous control centers of our lives.  Our psychological functions and their effect on our behaviors has facinated me since I was little.  I love to talk to people about what the know (have learned), believe, experiences and how they use these things to construct their behaviors and habits that have formed as a result.

I love to clarify definitions so that everyone means the same thing and everyone can understand correctly.  Many times you can trace conflicts back to a miscommunication or misexecution.  If we took more time to make sure we say what we mean and that others understand us correctly there would be less disappointment and conflict because someone "THOUGHT" differently than what we had stated.

If you identify your goals and/or desired traits you can examine what someone who possesses the trait you want and what you need to change to develop the desired trait and make it an attribute.
