I choose to change the default position on how I view life. I choose to change!

My Old NormalMy New Normal
I see the worst in people and circumstances.I choose to trust others.
I view my life as a glass half emptyI view my life as a glass half full.
I live with a scarcity mindset.I live with an abundance mindset.
I seek my own interests first.I desire to serve others.
I believe the lies I tell myself.I trust the truth I have heard.
I hold on to bitterness.I offer forgiveness.
I sabotage my success.I embrace success.
I live in constant fear.I live in freedom.

I cannot change all of the circumstances I face in life, but I choose to change my default position on how I view my challenges! Living in the joy!

I would love to hear about how you view life.

hello friend @sumatranate great post , i congratulate you , keep it up

Thanks for the kinds words, @luiszuritam. I hope to keep this positive, faith filled perspective on life. It is hard sometimes, but I will try to keep it up.

I went through a change like this when we began tithing...giving at least 10% of our income to God's work in the world.

It does make it REAL!

My parents taught me to tithe at a young age. I have continued to do so ever since. It helps me keep a outward mindset to help others instead of only thinking about myself.

Yes. I agree!

"It doesn't matter if the glass is half full or half empty. It's poison!"

A good summation of how I was raised. I'm definitely fighting hard to get away from the scarcity mindset.

Keep fighting the good fight!

I tried to write you a reply yesterday, but you first statement took me off guard, and I guess I needed some time to think.

"It's poison" take a pessimism to a whole new level. Wow! We have to fight the scarcity mindset, because if it wins, then we lose a lot of opportunities to serve others with our time, money, and talents.

Thanks for reaching out. Let's keep fighting the good fight together!

Thanks for taking the time to reply!
