here comes the new attitude!

how corny does that sound?

c'mon, even i think it sounds a bit cornball-ish. however, there is truth in it. recently i have been challenged (and accepted the challenge) of changing my attitude. as i begin a new school and new relationships it is time for the past to be fertilized and recycled into something new, serving and beautiful.

instead of pity, here comes gratitude and reaching out.
instead of selfishness, here comes a willingness to listen and learn and share with others.
instead of doubt, here comes confidence and positive expectations.
instead of worry, here comes trust and solid action.
instead of depression, here comes uplifting thoughts and solid action.
instead of laziness or haste, here comes expending energy and accepting challenges with a vision of action.

what situation do you want to change most?

now that you've thought of it (and you know what it is), change your attitude about it or towards it. i dare you. be grateful for one aspect of it and move forward with yourself.

a prayer for you tonight: may you rest into your own bones, blood and soul to be your authentic self, trading guilt for acceptance, blame for responsiblity and doubt for appreciation. may you speak with your Voice and act on what is beautiful, true and whole.
