Be made new in the attitude of your minds.
—Ephesians 4:23
A rotten attitude is toxic, poisoning from inside out. It contaminates relationships and sabotages happiness—turns life into a mental garbage dump.
Take ownership of your attitude. Stop blaming others for your problems and pains, your flaws and failures.
Someone hurt your feelings, broke your heart, shattered your dreams. Let it go. Move on. However badly you have been treated and however deeply it hurts, get over it.
That’s not easy.
Do it anyway. For your own sake. For until you do, you will spend your days wallowing in the muck and misery of self-pity—a terrible waste of the gift of life.
Your circumstances may be beyond
your control, but your attitude isn’t.
