BECOMING
A BETTER YOU
Attitude vs. Character
There is
a reason why you do what you do. He makes decisions every single minute, tons
of it. A human being has an identity that makes him a unique individual. All of
these things that a person has are called attitude and character.
What is character?
Character
is already inborn in every person and it is not subject for change.
Character
makes you do things you are not supposed to do in front of many people; but you
do it anyway because that’s your character.
Character makes you do well while the others
are not; even when no one is watching.
Character
is most time inherited through traits; from your parent, grant parent or/ and
ancestors.
There are
also inherited spiritual traits like Favour, Goodness, Hatred, bitterness.
They
could be positive or negative; this is the reason why you need to discover all
you negative and positive characters and pray concerning them.
Here are some of the good characters one must have to enhance
his values in life, these are; courage, patience, honesty, integrity,
loyalty and many more.
A bad character is called vices, and here are some example of
vices; falsehood, dishonesty, Laziness, procrastination, sluggishness
and so on
You do it
just because that is who you are.
|
Attitude is a choice, whereas Character is an
identity.
|
Character makes up your entire identity. Having the right values
makes up a great character.
What is Attitude?
Attitude
is a choice.
Attitude
determines how you handle or approach certain things, and it is all up to your
own decision how you are going to do those particular things.
Attitude
can be negative or Positive.
|
You Attitude can take you to the Highest heath attainable in life and
it can also take you down to the valley in life
|
Attitude
can be a counter to any negative character.
When you
are faced with the challenges of life where you need the uttermost caution and
care; the first thing to do is to examine your attitude.
Nothing
should really destabilize you; it is your attitude that matters.
Your attitude is:
ü You disposition to issues/life
ü Your perception
ü Your Outlook
ü Your Personality
ü Your viewpoint
Quick Difference between
Attitude and Character
1.
You can change your
attitude but you can’t change your character just like that.
2.
Character is more on
identity attitude is on how you approach things (Your Reactions to issues).
3.
Character can be built
through education while attitude is built through experience.
4.
You can easily notice character
because it surfaces through the people, while attitude is hard to see because a
person can manipulate ones attitude.
How to Becoming a Better You
The way
to become a better person is to list all your bad attitude and change it to
good.
The devil
uses our bad attitude against us.
You must
not allow the enemy to keep you sad, in low spirit, discouraged, defeated.
No matter
the challenges, you are facing in life; what really matters is you attitude to
them.
Some people’s attitude to bad situations are
·
Crying
·
Anger
·
Sadness
·
Drinking and Smoking
·
Self-Withdrawal
All these negative attitude will not solve the problems; instead
it will make you more defeated in life.
“Be careful for nothing; but in
everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be
made known unto God. And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding,
shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus. Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are
true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever
things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good
report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these
things.” {Phil 4:6-8}
With a
positive attitude, you can really go far in life.
Paul in
the bible was faced with numerous challenges. There were several obstacles
coming from various directions. Paul was persecuted greatly; his rights were
denied; he faced several dangers and attacks; but through all this he
maintained a positive attitude.
If you
attitude is positive, you can enjoy divine refreshment in the midst of scathing
criticism and the scouring heat of opposition.
To be a
better person, you need to ask God to help you develop a positive attitude.
You can
decide to see the bright side of things even when you sense palpable darkness.
Your
attitude will surely bring you out of the dark tunnel.
"Nay, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him
that loved us. For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels,
nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come, nor
height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from
the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord." {Rom
8:37-39}
One thing
that will help us develop a positive attitude is:
Ø Divine Assurance: Being conscious of the fact that God is on your side.

Ø Trust in God’s Word: When you know and declare the word of God that such as “We are
more than conqueror” then you won’t be moved by stormy sea.
Ø Regular Prayer: Bible says; in everything, we should put into prayers.

Ø Conscious Positive
Attitude: You need to practice Consciously positive attitude by :
o Replacing Fear with Faith
o Replacing Sorrow with
Happiness
o Replacing Anger with Love
o Replacing Discouragement
with Hope
Your
attitude is determinant of how high you can fly.
Your
Happiness and success depends not so much on the problems that you face but how
you respond to the problems.

There is one thing that makes a difference in human beings; it is Attitude
|
That is
the reason you seen a person of low skill being promoted over some one that is
very good; it is Attitude.
You
attitude will help you find good in every situation you find yourself.
If you
attitude is wrong, then you will handle anything that happens wrongly. Some
people’s attitudes have pushed them into serious confusion and terrible
problems. Some, as a result of issues, will drive recklessly and die as a
result.
A wrong
Attitude is the worst problem.
Some will
be so bitter at the present situation and speak rashly to their boss and will
now begin to regret it latter.
Some
Christians have even given up on God and turned to beggarly powers and
witchdoctors as a result of bad attitude.
It will
even complicate their matter. Some is impatience, bitterness, indiscipline and
so on.
You can be a better
Person Today by Changing your Attitude.
I pray that the lord will
release unto the grace to live a life of positive attitude.
Your attitude shall open
unto you great doors of promotion, enlargement and opportunities in the name of
Jesus.

of Jesus.
