Own Your Own Attitude

by Karrin

An attitude is a priceless gift; it's a gift you give yourself.  Learning to think for yourself and taking responsibility for your attitude is life's utmost priority.  If you can learn to own your own attitude you will never be alone.  You will express yourself with more freedom, have the wisdom to know who to share what with, and realize it’s up to you to be grateful.

Attitude is something that people nurture, like a clean room, or polished presentation.  It is something that one nurtures within oneself.  When people naturally loved themselves they feel grateful and express their love to others.  Since we fluctuate between different attitudes it’s important to nurture the attitudes we wish to become habitual. 

As we begin to own our own attitudes we become more responsible for our own feelings.  Learning to have a loving attitude towards ourselves, no matter our feelings in any given moment, is a lifelong task.  When we blame our feelings on outer circumstances or other people we come to a dead end.  If we are not responsible for our attitude, who is?  

We become a victim every time we blame our feelings on others, instead of taking responsibility for our range of emotions.  No matter how we feel, it’s okay.  If we own our own attitudes we can change them as we gather more information.  Owning our own attitude is the key to compassion, creativity, and co-creation.  

Own your own attitude, express how you feel.
