EXPECT THE BEST

“ATTITUDE IS A LITTLE THING

THAT MAKES A BIG DIFFERENCE”

You know when you grasp and understand this concept, it can be life-changing!  I had to smile when I read this next story I am about to share, as the Calliope students often hear me telling this (illustrated by my two stuffed dogs – one black & one white).

(Taken from - ‘The Power of Attitude’ by Mac Anderson)

A native American boy was talking with his grandfather. “What do you think about the world situation?” he asked. The grandfather replied, “I feel like wolves are fighting in my heart.  One is full of anger and hatred; the other is full of love, forgiveness and peace.” “Which one will win?” asked the boy. To which the grandfather replied, “The one I feed.” (Origin Unknown)

This simple story provides the essence of a life-changing law of the universe…

You become what you think about! 

The words are almost too simple to ‘feel important’.  However, if you ‘get it’, if you truly understand their meaning, you can forever harness the power of a positive attitude. Simply stated… If we choose to think positive thoughts, we’ll get positive results; if we think negative thoughts, we’ll get negative results. 

Pretend for a moment that every thought is a seed you sow in your fertile mind.  Therefore, as I once heard someone say, “If you plant crabapples, don’t expect to harvest Golden Delicious Apples.”  You will reap the fruit of the thoughts you sow.

Take ‘Every thought Captive’ … You may be surprised and find that you are no longer held in captivity … but are actually found ‘Captivating’ by others around you!

Get rid of your ‘Stinking thinking’, hit the refresh button and have an awesome week.

Don’t forget Café Connect is on this Thursday 12 March (held at school near the 3 pencils)
