Attitude: In Every Situation You Can Make It With Me

Nothing can stop the man with the right mental attitude from achieving his goal; nothing on earth can help the man with the wrong mental attitude. Thomas Jefferson

Your attitude, not your aptitude, will determine your altitude. Zig Ziglar

My attitude is that if you push me towards something that you think is a weakness, then I will turn that perceived weakness into a strength. Michael Jordan

Everything can be taken from a man but one thing: the last of human freedoms - to choose one's attitude in any given set of circumstances, to choose one's own way. Viktor E. Frankl

The greatest day in your life and mine is when we take total responsibility for our attitudes. That's the day we truly grow up. John C. Maxwell

NIV 10 WORDS TO LIVE BY Philippians 4: I am not saying this because I am in need, for I have learned to be content whatever the circumstances.12 I know what it is to be in need, and I know what it is to have plenty. I have learned the secret of being content in any and every situation, whether well fed or hungry, whether living in plenty or in want. 13 I can do all this through him who gives me strength.

CONTENTMENT

CONTENTMENT IS AN ACQUIRED TRAIT vs:11

3 phrases that represent myths that people have bought into making them think contentment can come quickly:

MYTH ONE "I must have what others have to be happy."

MYTH TWO “I must be liked by everyone to be happy."

MYTH THREE If I have more, I’ll be more happy."

NIV 10 WORDS TO LIVE BY 1 Tim. 6:6-9 "6 But godliness with contentment is great gain. 7 for we brought nothing into the world, and we can take nothing out of it. 8 but if we have food and clothing, we will be content with that. 9 people who want to get rich fall into temptation and a trap and into many foolish and harmful desires that plunge men into ruin and destruction.”

NIV 10 WORDS TO LIVE BY Luke 3:14 Some soldiers ask John the Baptist what they must do to express right living. Listen to what John says, "14 Then some soldiers asked him, "and what should we do?" he replied, "don’t extort money and don’t accuse people falsely- -be content with your pay."

NIV 10 WORDS TO LIVE BY Hebrew 13:5 "Be content with what you have, because God has said, never will I leave you; never will I forsake you."

THERMOSTAT THERMOMETER

CONTENTMENT IS ADJUSTING TO CIRCUMSTANCES: vs:10 & 12

three self imposed road blocks

We need to stop comparing ourselves to others.

We need to stop being controlled by circumstances.

We need to stop complaining and start praising.

CONTENTMENT IS BEING ANCHORED TO CHRIST: vs:13

Five attitude changes that gradually take place that produce contentment.

People matter more than things.

the spirit matters more than the flesh

The inner man becomes important than the outer man

Eternity matters more than time.

What is unseen is more important than what is seen and becomes your focal point.

CHALLENGE 1.I will be a myth buster and acquire the trait of contentment 2.I will knock down self-imposed road blocks and adjust to circumstances 3.I will change my attitude and be anchored in Christ
