Generate Positive Attitude 3 Ways

“Folks are about as happy as theymake up there minds to be”

Abraham Lincoln

Used, Abused, Refused? Accept loss. Be angry, yet do not sin Do not let sun go down on your anger

“Anger” Is One Letter Short of “Danger” List everyone you blame, describe offense and how you feel Forgive each offender, including yourself

Forgiveness Is Not using the past against offender Not a feeling, but a decision you make Not forgetting, but letting go of the hurt Not seeking revenge, but receiving renewal Not for their sake, but for your freedom and future Not an event, but exercise
