Attitude

How we react to things around us reflects a lot on our inward attitude.
When we smile despite adversities, that is not only a character but an attitude itself. In fact attitude is defined as a 'state of readiness to respond in a characteristic way to a stimulus'.

I've got to change my attitude towards work, and if I don't, work's going to be and will continue being a drag. There's so many things for me to point my finger at and I can continue to complain all day long 'cause when it really comes down to it, you can always find fault in every single thing and let it affect and bother you.

Instead of focusing on the faults at work, I must learn and shift it on my patients instead. How all the little ones make me smile even if I have got to fight and tussle with them just to feed them their medicine. Even if looking after them causes my back to hurt and my legs to ache. Even if I've got to work extra harder during all the busier days, even if I have to miss my meals. I want to focus on the good things at work.

Lord, You've placed me here to be a blessing but I haven't been much. Help me become one.
