THE MAIN THEME: HOW DO I GET TO WHERE I AM GOING?
TITLE: DRIVING WITH A FLAT TIRE
The quote for today’s devotional is:
Bad attitude is like a flat tire, you can't go anywhere until you change it. - Unknown
Devotional:
One essential tool that we must pack in our ‘bags’ as we embark on our journey toward greatness is the tool of the right attitude. Just like a flat tire stalls your road trip, a bad attitude stalls your life. It's hard to make progress when you're carrying negativity. Fix your mindset and attitude, and you'll accelerate towards your goals.
A story is told of how Thomas Edison lost most of his life’s work in a fire incident in 1914. He was already 67 years old at this time, and could have chosen to simply retire; rather than do this, he calmly responded ‘I will start again tomorrow’ and so he did!
Today, several years after, that story has been told over and over as it shows that with clarity of purpose, one can choose to see with optimism the obstacles that will come as we journey along, as learning opportunities; as the glass being ‘half full rather than half empty’ and knowing that whatever the challenges may be, if we choose to maintain a positive attitude (which does not deny that we are hurt but says, “despite this pain, I will go on”), recalibrate and try again, we will surely reach our glorious destinies.
Here are a few reflective questions:
- Think of a time when something didn’t go as planned because of your attitude, how did you feel? How did you respond?
- What can you do to remind yourself to remain calm in the face of adversity?
Let us pray:
Dear God, please grant me the courage to trust that you will work everything out for my good always in Jesus’ name. Amen.
Please say these words of affirmation. Say them, mean them, own them, and live them:
- I have the right attitude to get me to where I am going.
- I am unstoppable
- I have what it takes to succeed
- All things are working for my good.
Do have a fulfilling day. Take good care of yourself and see you tomorrow!
