Jethsel's Start of the Week Habit v5 Attitude Determines Attitude

I woke up early today, excited. I have responsibilities to fulfill today. I am important.

My job is to choose what kind of day I am going to have.

Today I can complain because the weather is sunny or I can be thankful that my clothes will dry fast.

Today I can feel sad that I don't have more money or I can be glad that my finances encourage me to plan my purchases wisely and guide me away from waste.

Today I can grumble about my health or I can rejoice that I am alive.

Today I can lament over all that my parents didn't give me when I was growing up or I can feel grateful that they allowed me to be born.

Today I can cry because roses have thorns or I can celebrate that thorns have roses.

Today I can mourn my lack of friends or I can excitedly embark upon a quest to discover new relationships.

Today I can whine because I have to go to work or I can shout for joy because I have a job to do.

I can whimper because of the calls on queue or I can be eager to help out another customer today.

Today I can murmur dejectedly because I have to do housework or I can feel honored because the Lord has provided shelter for my mind, body and soul.

Today stretches ahead of me, waiting to be shaped. And here I am the sculptor who gets to do the shaping.

What today will be like is up to me. I get to choose what kind of day I will have!

If you were presented with an opportunity to do something great - to really leave a mark on the world and make a difference, would you take it? I think that most people would, I know that I certainly would. πŸ™Œ Perhaps the reason that most people don’t end up doing this is because of the personal price that needs to be paid. One thing I’ve certainly learned for myself is that if I want to be able to influence other people and things around me I first need to be able to influence myself. If I want to create change around me, I need to start with myself. I can’t take my same old self into a bright new future - I’ll only darken it. πŸ’₯ The good news is that if I put proper focus on changing myself, on growing and learning and developing my skills - my potential will be unlimited. πŸ’ͺ **** picture below is my inspiration.

Holy Week Pilgrimage 2016

We were praying and fasting and walking. I almost gave up. I asked Argie to stop several times. I thought of riding a cab instead of walking then I realized we've been walking and 8 kilometer walk is just nothing compared to what Jesus has done on the cross. Argie has been holding my hand all throughout and he has been really supportive. We our faith and continue walking. It took us 4 hrs to get there. While walking, I recalled how tough first quarter was for me and what are the things I could have done differently.  It was a realization that no matter what challenges I have encountered, I will always have to hold on and keep my faith in God, I know for sure, we will achieve our goals and I am excited for it! This season has reminded me again to be humble, forgiving,  faithful and trusting to God. Hope you were able to spend quality time with your family this holiday and you were able to find the true meaning of Lent. God bless! πŸ‘ΌπŸ˜‡πŸ™‡
