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'
