Both enthusiasm and pessimism are contagious. How much of each do you spread? If someone were to pay you ten dollars for each kind word you spoke and five dollars for each unkind word, would you be rich or poor? Are you a creature of circumstance or a creator of circumstance? Are you ready for your opportunity when it comes? Do you make others feel bigger or smaller when they're around you? Are you spending your life to answer questions nobody is asking? Ten years from today, what will you wish you had done now? If you have God's promise for something, isn't that enough? Why worry when you can pray? How old is your attitude? Are you ready? What do you believe in the depth of your being? Do you acquire the doubts of others? How old is your attitude? Do you share your hurts or memorize them? How much has it cost you to worry about things that never happened? Do you go through a problem or try to go around it and never get past it? Do you say, "There ought to be a better way to do it," or do you say, "That's the way its always been done"? Are you thinking of security or opportunity? Has failure gone to your head? What is the first, small step you can take to get moving? - John L Mason, from the book Let Go Of Whatever Makes You Stop.
