Five Thoughts for a New Year
“Self-reverence, self-knowledge, self-control;
these three alone lead life to a sovereign place.”
--Tennyson
A New Year has begun and this week I want to share five basic thoughts that help me in my work. Hopefully you can find them helpful as well.
MONDAY: Each day is all about attitude.
Each and every day we are faced with choices. Choices start the moment the alarm clock goes off; for example, am I going to hit the snooze button? Choices continue throughout the day. The foundation for making our choices is also a choice we make. I believe that foundation can be called our attitude, often we hear it referred to as a positive mental attitude or a negative mental attitude. Judith Knowlton puts it this way: “I discovered I always have choices and sometimes it's only a choice of attitudes.”
These are challenging days, this will be a challenging year. What attitude will you choose for the living of your day(s)? Personally, I plan to face each day rejoicing in the gift of life surrounded by chaos, pain and challenge! This is a choice of self-reverence, I believe.
