I would like to think with you all, on the beauty and grandeur of enjoying our experiences and situation which we are living in. In that extend, we can see two kinds of people in the world. People at the first category never learnt to appreciate things, people or experiences. They focus only on the negatives in life and gradually become pessimistic. But at the same time, there is the other category, which always focuses on positives or the bright side of all events or happenings in life. It’s an attitude of seeing things in perspective and keeping hope alive. Someone rightly said that ‘attitude not aptitude determines ones altitude in life’. It is important for us to look into ourselves and see our attitude and to determine today, that whether we need to develop an attitude to adjust, appreciate and to enjoy our situations.
Paul in Philippians exclaims that he is learned to adjust with any situation in his life and ministry. He had developed an attitude of contentment. Sounds simple, but its vitally important for us to develop the attitude to appreciate situations and to make maximum use of it.
It is important for any person to accept the fact that God is placing him/her in a particular situation to manifest His purposes through my life. So it is important to accept that calling and commissioning to move forward with more focused and more energetic. This attitude will definitely help us to depend upon God and enjoy each situation without grumbling or murmuring. In the same way we have to develop self respect and affirmation of our self in that situation. In my experience I can say, a group can make a huge impact in our personal life, then any individual effort. We would be having a dark experience of past, we are given the right chance to change ourselves to develop self worth through proper interaction and engagement. We should be able to accept others as partakers in fulfilling the purposes God assigned to us. We have to be ready to share our resources, whether our talent, time or care for others, as it make an impact upon our life as well as others. It is important to get inspired and inspire other people to bring positivity from deep inside so that we become genuinely positive. We need to have an attitude of humility like Jesus had. We need to get rid of the negative things that feed our negative attitude and replace them with positive things that will give us a positive attitude.
We are what we think we are, and what we do is the result of our thoughts. A positive mindset is very important, because it act as a basis of happiness. Moreover it provides us with the momentum to achieve our potential to its fullest extent in our personal and professional life. A normal person with normal thinking lives a normal life and doesn’t know what to expect or how to react in a given situation. People with positivity can see opportunity even in difficult situations. Life is full of positives and we just have to take them into consideration as we experience life. We should all live to our full potential through all these life experiences. Paul and Silas were imprisoned. But they chose to see that place as a most comforting place. They chose to worship God in the dark room. They ultimately find happiness in their life.
Viktor Frankl, founder of Logo Therapy, has the harrowing experience of being imprisoned in four nazi camps. During this period, he survived selections of who should live or die today, forced labour, brutal capos, beatings, malnutrition, diseases and so on. His all body shaved and were subjected to other forms of humiliations. In all these sufferings, he didn’t just complain or hate his life. Frankl had the opportunity to observe human nature under extreme circumstances. Many prisoners with him gave up and hate their life. But few prisoners along with Frankl deepened spiritually and took these experiences as tests of their inner strength. They rose to the challenge of finding meaning in their lives. Frankl quotes Nietzsche: ‘He who has a why to live for, can bear almost any how’.
What’s our attitude toward life? When my attitude is right, there’s no barrier too high, no valley too deep, no dream too extreme, no challenge too great for me.” Let’s choose to be positive about life. Let’s be positive toward God, others and ourselves. We need a living hope to get through life and endure suffering. A living hope enables us to have both sorrow and joy. Our living hope is an inheritance achieved for us by Christ.
I pray and wish that God may enable us to adjust with all situations, making use of all chances, and to enjoy all events in more fruitful and productive way. God bless us all..!!
