AN ATTITUDE OF GRATITUDE

My morning’s blinding flash of the obvious: When I am faced with anything I fear or dread, I need to picture it as me going into the lion’s den...then remember that the only thing that can hurt me there is my own attack thoughts.

As I go into my lion’s den, it is vital that I focus on freeing my own mind from anything but “Thank You.” It is a fact that my attack thoughts are usually formed by my interpretation of what I heard another say, or what I “just know” another meant when s/he said what I heard. The minute I send out an attack thought that is my call/invitation to the “lions” to attack...me.

It has been said that what we see is always ourselves, what we hear is always our interpretation of what was said. An attitude of gratitude makes all incoming/outgoing kinder, gentler than we would naturally choose.

Thank You.
