... human beings, by changing the inner attitudes of their minds, can change the outer aspect of their lives.
--William James

"It's no use; I'll screw it up anyway." This is an attitude. Some attitudes sound like this: "I'm great and people should try to please me," or, "I deserve good breaks," or, "Rules and laws are for others, but not for me."

Some attitudes can wreck our families, jobs, education, love life, financial well being, and spiritual growth. The good news is attitudes can change. It takes practice but, if we really decide to pay attention and change the ones that are harmful to us, we can succeed. In this way we guide our own growth and create a better, more positive world for ourselves.

Today let me pay very close attention to my attitudes and change the harmful ones.

Pat, perfect timing for this one. I'm trying not to sabotage myself with harmful thoughts and attitudes today. It's going to be a battle today, but I know I can win it. And tomorrow. One day at a time. wine

HJFinAZ: Don't quit, surrender.. To surrender, is to win..


I'm trying to surrender to my higher good and my health. Thank you, you understood. My final vice...it's time for it to go. No patches since I'm allergic to the adhesive polymers, so I'm using Lobelia, a detox tea, toothpicks with Tea Tree oil, drinking lots of distilled water, and going to get out to the garden in the sun and earth...that should help a lot.

Walking, going to the gym...everything I can to get through day one.

Thank You for this thought today HJ. I have truly been missing
them. Like some bad relationships some attitudes are also
difficult to surrender. I, for one, get so set in my ways and
when my familt starts bugging me about one certain thing they
think I need to work on, then I get upset. I want to tell them
this is my life, mind their own damn business and leave me
alone. But with a slap in the face I see they usually are
right and I work on getting ready of certain attitudes. hug
