The picture above is an excellent example of how something magnificent and beautiful can exist, despite it's surrounding environment. This is an amazing golf course with lush green grass in the middle of the Arizona heat and desert. The environment is not necessarily ideal conditions for such beauty. However, despite the unfavorable conditions, this golf course continues to thrive.
The point: We may not always be able to control our environment. We may not always like the situations in which we are placed during our lifetime. We may not always have the most "favorable" conditions to learn, or work, or grow as a person. However, like this golf course, we can take our situation in life and make the most of it! We can become magnificent, beautiful, and excel despite our environment...when we have the RIGHT ATTITUDE! Our attitude has the power to change any situation. With the right attitude we can take a very negative environment and make it GREAT!
A few ways to maintain a POSITIVE ATTITUDE:
1. Follow your PASSION...when we are chasing our passion in life, we are less likely to focus on the negative that surrounds us. Instead, we are driven by what we love to do.
2. Be PROUD of who you are...this does not suggest arrogance. But the reality is this, if we are unhappy with who we were created to be, then it becomes very difficult to have a positive attitude.
3. Make your LIFE count...are you using your unique set of gifts, talents, abilities, and skills to make life better for those around you?
