Bad Mood
Attitude
We have control of our attitude. How we respond to
circumstance is determining our attitude. The
circumstance itself should not control our attitude,
else we become manipulated like puppets by the
environment. Our minds strongly determine the control
we allow ourselves over our attitude. We can respond
positively with self-control or negatively with anger.
It’s how we react to situations, not the situations
themselves, that influences our attitude. Environment only
influences us to the point that we allow it to influence us.
Your life is judged not so much by what happens to you
as by the attitude you display the face of what happens.
Your mental picture of the environment is the determining
factor in the control you have over yourself and others.
One truism about bad feelings often goes unnoticed.
We cause them to occur, not the environment.
An external dilemma presents the challenge to us
and waits for a reaction. So we must concern ourselves
with our reactions instead of the circumstances involved.
What happens to you is not a function of power but what happens
inside your mind and within your reactive control is a function of your
power as a man. This is very evident in the world of sports today
with younger and younger athletes obtaining more and more money and
fame which they mistake for power. Then they show how much true
power they have in their reaction to unfavourable circumstances.
In life there are two dominant forces, external and internal.
We have very little control over external phenomenon such as
the way our coach coaches, the way the referee makes a call,
the way an opposing athlete plays us, etc. What really shows the
character of the man is the internal reaction. How do we respond to those predicaments? Over that we have complete and utter control.
No one can make you do anything, you have control
within yourself. The problem is not the other person; it
is the way you behave to the other person.
External phenomenon can’t make you poor, only without money.
Being poor is an internal mind set. Being without money is only an external situation.
Life at any time can take fateful twists and turns.
Winning the race of life depends on how you respond to
whatever twists and turns you must make to stay on the
right track.
You can’t always control your environment, but you can
always control your attitude.

I am a firm believer in our attitudes mattering to others. For example, if we are in a bad mood then the people around us will fill the affect and also end up in a bad mood. No matter what the circumstances are that change our moods from good to bad, just think that it could always be worse for you.
Yes, it is definitely true that we can control our attitudes but what about those people who want to "try you"? There are some that seem to have nothing but negative intentions and they will go "to the top of a mountain" to accomplish their evil deeds. These are the type of people that I have no patience for at all. They are fully aware of their misbehavior and seem to get satisfaction out of making others unhappy. These I keep far away from because it would seem that their life is so corrupt that they have nothing but time to attempt to make others unhappy as well. Anywho! I continue to pray for those like this, sometimes help is not enough.
