Proverbs 23

The Power of Attitude

Next to knowing Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior, nothing is more important than having a good positive attitude. Your attitude can:

• Make or break you
• Heal or hurt you
• Make you friends or make you enemies
• Make you happy or make you miserable
• Make you a success or make you a failure

Someone had rightly said that attitude, not aptitude, determines ones altitude in life.

Louder than the words you speak is your attitude that keeps telling people what you are really like. My attitude reveals the real me - to be quite sobering. When I do or say something that obviously wasn’t the right thing, "I didn’t mean it, where did that come from," - it came from inside. “What’s down in the well comes up in the bucket!”

Your attitude reveals the real you. It determines the success and failure of every relationship in your life. To everyone you meet, in church, out of church, in your workplace, in your home, try to say something positive. Why? Because positive words create a loving, creative environment in which to live.

⁸Finally, brothers, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable—if anything is excellent or praiseworthy—think about such things. 9Whatever you have learned or received or heard from me, or seen in me—put it into practice. And the God of peace will be with you. Phil. 4:8-9
