Attitude

[caressa]

A negative attitude is the trademark of active addiction.

...Our attitudes are expressed in our actions. Often, it's not what we say, but the way we say it, that really matters.

It's all their fault! What did I do to deserve this? If only they hadn't done that! Look at what you made me do! I wouldn't have done this if you hadn't done that! All those tales of woe have to be changed from the negative to a positive.

Replacing positive with the negative is the only way to get out of that old attitude. Imprint my life with positive principles and actions, and the stinking thinking changes into something positive.

When I quit playing the blame game and look at me, take responsibility for my life, then I can move forward by changing those old tapes and making new ones.

I am the one who pushes the play button. I can choose to push play or rewind and record over the old with a new positive attitude.

This morning I was reminded of my old attitude when things didn't go my way. How dare they? It is nice to be able to handle things as they come without being the 'b*tch' and the nag who is unpleasant and a person I no longer want to be. In the past, no one would have said, "It was a pleasure serving you."

I don't like it that it isn't working, yet I don't have to like it to accept it. I can practice patience and tolerance and allow them the time to fix it. I am very grateful that it doesn't stay off and comes back on if you wait long enough. Perhaps if it stayed off, I wouldn't have been so calm about it although I think it would be better if it did instead of me spending time trying to make it happen. Don't want to say that too loud in case it hears me.

It was important for me to keep a positive attitude. Even with faced with a negative, I tried to find the goodness in it. It was important for me to see what I could do to change it into a positive. If that wasn't possible I had to detach and let go.

Often it is how I perceive things. No more holier than thou, no more greater than, no more not good enough, no more indifference and no more shutting off and shutting down.

As I change I become more tolerant of me and of you.

Love this.  What needs to be changed within me and my attitude.  I always figure it takes one to know one.  As the slogan says, "Let it begin with me."  Clean my side of the street before I go judging others.
