Welcome to part two of our series on Gratitude Attitude. Sharing with you what can be a reality, if we choose. Sharing this over the next few days is exactly the intention of this series. For now of course it is just a vision and a vision without action is just some thoughts that are soon forgotten. We need not or should not forget this message. I pray we think upon the word Gratitude.
It is the intention to inspire your thoughts, to create that action within your life. Then enable you and of course give to you the power to pass it on, pay it forward and teach another for the future generations, the power of the Gratitude Attitude.
Yesterday the problems we all face and hear each day was discussed and we shared a little about why gratitude and a better attitude can make things different from what we live now.
Today I want to talk about what we have all heard and what we could change about how we deal with these problems.
Old Thinking, a pattern well worn through
Over the years we have all been raised by well meaning parents, but todays generation we have many children being raised by more than just mom and day. They are raised by music they hear, games they play online and words they here from peers not just mentors. The information they get becomes what shapes and molds them.
We had parents that raised us to say things like the following:
Deal with it.
Get over it.
It is what it is.
Don't cry over spilt milk.
Face it, you are what you are.
Old thoughts that shaped and molded us and not always for the best. We learned to live with the status quo and many of us did not think to challenge it.
It is the view that we should replace some of this old thinking with statements such as:
How can this be made to appear and become better?
What about this can I have a better response to make it better for all?
It is what it is till it isn't, how can this be improved upon for the greater good?
Why cry over it, really lets figure a way to fix it so it does not happen again?
I am not what others say I am, but I can be what I choose to be with proper knowledge and action.
See the difference?
See the power of asking better questions to get a better answer.
When we approach the attitudes of the past with questions we will tend to get a better answer for us and our children.
With gratitude and a feeling of possibility we can improve our world and start a better life for us and our children and those who are in our circle of influence.
A video to help explain:
A new way of thinking, not judging the results given as the end but asking how to make this better.
Ask what your grateful for today.
Ask what your can make of what your already have.
Ask what difference can I really make in the life of another.
If you do not ask the right questions,
you do not get the right answers.
A question asked in the right way often points to its own answer. Asking questions is the A-B-C of diagnosis.
Only the inquiring mind solves problems.
- Edward Hodnett
