A dramatic illustration of this was unfortunately on 9-11. Why did mayor Guliani and president Bush’s support and approval rating go through
roof on this infamous day? It was Because everyone saw how they dealt with crisis, and then world took notice and applauded their strength, gaining respect of Nations by way they handled their horrific situation.
Some saw this tragedy as something that would pull American people apart, others, especially aforementioned, saw it as an opportunity to pull us all together. Things were way they Thought they were, because they thought they were that way.
An adverse example would be where we've all seen (great) things, wonderful things, happen to others, like someone getting a promotion at work that some would dreamed of, and then heard them say under their breathe in a sarcastic tone, “well...it looks like now I’ll be having to work more than ever, whoopee...great promotion.” never appreciating opportunity being bestowed unto them.
Compared once again in a brighter light to when we’ve seen tragedies that most would run from, and witnessed people rise to moment and make most of it, learning from experience if nothing else, what we will never tolerate again.
What’s true difference here? I believe it comes down to this, we have two choices, 1.) We can let situation dictate our attitude, OR 2.) We can let our ATTITUDE dictate situation. The best part is, choice is ours.
Now with this in mind, for next time things come up, and come up they will...write down this simple little message and keep it with you, or even better, write it down twice, once for yourself and another to share with someone you love.
“Things are way you think they are, because you think they are that way.”
Keep Smilin'
