CHOOSING MY OWN ATTITUDE
Viktor Frankl, a survivor of the Holocaust, was once investigated by the German Gestapo court in a Nazi concentration camp. The German soldiers stripped Frankl of all his possessions-his clothes, his watch and even his wedding ring. Frankl stood before the soldiers naked, his body shaved and his possessions gone. But there was one thing that Frankl had left. He still possessed one thing that could not be taken from him. At that moment in his life, he realized that no one could take from him his ability to choose his own attitude. ATTITUDE ADJUSTMENT Underline how others would describe your overall attitude. Are you more Bitter or forgiving? Critical or encouraging? Judgmental or loving? Proud or humble? Rebellious or submissive? Jealous or edifying? Worrying or trusting? Fearful or faith-filled? Failing or succeeding? Angry or accepting? Adapted from “Attitude Will Make or Break You,” by Dale E. Galloway, from Net Results-New Ideas in Church Vitality, January 2000, Lubbock, Texas
