"Let this same attitude and purpose and [humble] mind be in you which
was in Christ Jesus:" Philippians 2:5(AMP)

Attitude flows from the Soul of the Person and right attitude refers to
the consistency of Character that matches words and actions, vision and
choice values and behaviors. Mind of Christ is what God requires from
us. He wants to change us into the Glorious image of his son Jesus. If
we are willing to co-operate with the Holy Spirit then the change can
take place from the inside.

People with Negative attitude are our biggest obstacle to maintain
friendships, ministry, marriage, and relationships. Negative attitude is
reflected by bitterness, resentment, frustration, ill-health, and a
purposeless life and they'll always criticize and create negative
environment at home & work & also they pass on their negative behaviors
and energy to others around them. People with negative attitude will
blame the whole world, their Leaders, teachers, spouse, the economy and
the government for their failures.

Even in paradise fault finders will find faults. Most people find what
they are looking for. If you're looking for friendship, happiness, and
the positive, that is what you get. The greatest discovery of our
generation is that we can alter our lives by altering our attitudes of
mind. Primarily three factors that determine our attitude are: -
Environment, experience& education. Stay away from negative influences
and negative people, negative behavior, negative environment and
programs.

Attitude applies to every sphere of life, including one's personal and
professional life. A person with a positive attitude is like a fruit of
all season. There is something positive in every person and every
situation. We are so used to Looking for what is wrong with other people
and situation; we forget to see what is right. Someone one's said: -
Even a stopped clock is right twice a day. Ability without the right
attitude is wasted energy and good look without goodness is irritation.

Good children, good parents, good students, good teacher, good leader,
good pastor, regardless of their chosen field what makes them good is
good attitude. People with positive attitude are caring, confident,
patient, and humble. Develop an attitude of gratitude. Start your day
with a positive thoughts and behavior as a part of our lives such as:
Prayer and meditation of God's word. "Sanctify them by the truth; your
word is truth." John 17:17
