Principle #2

Maintaining

the right attitude

is easier than

regaining the

right attitude.

Let's look at five life attitudes.first is self-esteem. thats the way you feel about yourself.That feeling of your own worth influences every facet of your life.

The second attitude is love, which is your attitude towards others.Love-real love-always thinks in terms of what is best for the other person.

The third attitude is faith.Faith is your attitude towards God.It will influence your attitudes towards you fellow man and members of your family.

The fourth attitude is hope, which is your attitude towards your future.Alfred Adler, the psychiatrist, said "Hope is the foundational quality of all change, and its the great activator.It gets people moving towards an objective.Hope is the realistic expectation that something good is going to happen."

The fifth attitude is forgiveness, which deals with you past. Your ability to forgive others from any wrong-doing will have tremendous bearing on your future. The person who damaged your past is negatively impacting your present, and will negatively influence your future unless you forgive him or her.Forgiveness is the wisest choice.

Maintain these five attitudes in your life, and you will be well on your way to the top!

Never be lacking zeal,

but keep your spiritual fervor,

serving the Lord

Be joyful in hope,patient in affliction,

faithful in prayer

Romans 12:11-12
