Everything can be taken from a man but one thing: the last of the human freedoms—to choose one’s attitude in any given set of circumstances, to choose one’s own way. -- Viktor Frankl’s Man’s Search for Meaning
What we are currently getting is what we are needing for our still more spiritual growth according to who and what we are inside where God lives.I wonder if inside where God lives doesn't house the embryo of attitude.
In my life, learning unto accepting that I choose my attitude in any given set of circumstances is ever a hard slog. Since that is present tense, I no longer expect to "get" it, to nail it down never to have to choose again...to just let God do it because he's going to anyhow. We have there the innocence of the spiritual wisher.
Doing nothing, thinking to let God do it, negates the perfect work of attitude. It is by our upgrading our attitude that we downgrade our problem...and know joy.
It is our attitude that leads us to work with, no long work against, everything and everybody. In a word, acceptance.
Our atttitude births acceptance births we have ceased fighting anything and anybody. There...the Open Sesame to happy, joyous and free, God's meetinghouse.
Thank you.
