Yesterday, I was going about my morning when all of a sudden it hit me that I should spend time worshiping God. My morning drive I devoted to just thinking of him, singing unto him and asking him about things in life. 

And one of the first things he showed me in those moments was that sometimes we get so bogged down with our current circumstance. Right now, there are some things I wish I could change. I can't too much about it here, but let's just say it involves a promotion of some kind. I am realizing that the more that I try to work at it, the more I struggle with not having it. 

But yesterday morning, Jesus so graciously showed me that there is one thing that I can change if I can't change my circumstance. One thing that will help me to see things differently, one thing that will propel me further into where my path is headed. 

How many of us want to be propelled? I know, I do. I want to be thrusted so far forward, everything in my past, everything that has held me back, all the negativity will be so far behind me that I can only view it with binoculars! 

So what could this one thing be? Your attitude. Your "negative nancy, nobody loves me, everybody hates me, I guess I'll go eat worms", attitude... Your "I'll never be the best, I'll never get chosen, It'll never happen" attitude. Your "I'm not going to help others, I'll just take a backseat until I get my way, the way they do things around here will never work", attitude. Your "I don't like my job, I don't like my coworkers" attitude. Your he/she will never change, why even try, nobody understands me" attitude.

Can you feel the baggage and weight in that paragraph? Whoa. 

So how do you change your attitude?

Jesus was always effective and made an impact. He never showed up or left anywhere without being that way. He was always willing and understood the importance of being that way. Become effective. Jesus showed me that you should never ever leave a situation, a position, or anything you are involved with without making a difference. When it is announced you are moving on, people should really feel that you have impacted their lives in some way. That could be with how you implemented change, or how you were just a light to those who needed a shoulder, or how you helped out others in need, so on and so forth. But through it all, be humble. Don't boast about the things you are doing, do them as if no one is watching.

Think of those people who have made an impact in your life. 

How did they impact you?

How can you change your attitude today and be effective in your current situation?
