Is the notion that “your attitude determines your altitude” valid? A lot of times we get in the “I’m feeling bad, so my day is going bad” mode, which isn’t the most strong mindset you can have. Overcoming feelings with your actual state of being shows TRUE STRENGTH. Just think if everybody acted off the way that they felt 100% of the time. The world would be in absolute disarray. And though that’s the common instinct of a general person, it’s feeble to believe that it MUST be that way. If you’re FEELING vulnerable, you don’t have to ACT vulnerable. If you’re FEELING scared, a scared person is not WHO YOU ARE. The idea that we are defined by our feelings is a LIE.
Just think in a sense of a marriage. If one or both spouses acted off the way that they felt at a given time, the divorce rate would be off the charts (more so than it is already). If a husband got upset with their wife because they felt slighted and requested a divorce, their immediate state of being would become a divorced man, not a slighted man. Your attitude SHOULD determine your state of being more than your feelings do, but that’s often not the case when your feelings determine our attitude. If that’s the day-by-day reality for you, your emotions may be driving your life more than you are. Selah. (THINK ON THAT.)
I challenge you to ignore your feelings and recognize what’s real. If you feel tired, your state of being is still BLESSED because you’re alive to tell somebody how you’re “feeling”. Recognize what’s REAL!
