ON THE VALUE OF UPGRADING MY ATTITUDE

[The following is a reprint of my blog of January 26, 2012.]

Since God is love and cannot punish, I have to remind myself that life changes are always for the better. It helps to remind myself that God cannot punish so I will take responsibility for that which has been visited upon me that does not look wonderful…and it’s not my fault, my ego cries.

That life changes are always for the better is obvious only when I look back…those dreaded events that came to me, if they were life changing, they have been for my good. Which is not to say that I haven’t had to do a lot of upgrading my attitude…but that’s never hurt me, either. The ugly events were usually just self-will-powered rues, regrets and remorses…the pretties were singular glories that signified nothing (but nice nonetheless).

I need to lean on that fact, that life changes are always for the better…a fact that is true to me when I stay out of self-determined objectives and into “They will, not mine, be done.”

Thank You.
