We must always make the decision that whatever negative, unproductive, ungodly and unhealthy attitudes that we have packed in our human existence, it is time that we elevate so that we will not eliminate the future blessings that the Lord has in store for our lives. Our attitudes today are always a result of the social orientation of our past, but if we are not careful, we can allow painful memories to create a painful future. Get his....YOUR PAST WAS NOT MEANT TO LAST, BUT YOUR PAST WAS YOUR TRAINING CLASS.....NOW THE QUESTION IS, WILL YOU PASS OR WILL YOU REPEAT YOUR PAST?
No one can make the choice for you except you...no exception! It's not your mother, your father, your friends, your co-workers or anyone's fault for who you and I become. We will always be who we are because of who we are, and it all begins with the ATTITUDE! Therefore, I want to share with you FOUR principles on how you can make a change for the better that can prevent you from being bitter. Once you elevate your mind in these principles, I believe you will begin to see your life a lot better!

b. This kind requires HONESTY
c. This kind requires AVAILABILITY
2. You Must Elevate Your DIRECTION
"...return unto the Lord..."

Remember, a bad attitude is like a flat tire. If you don't change it, you will never go anywhere!
