I can be your greatest asset or your biggest enemy
When I am bad, I can ruin a day, and if you keep me around, I can ruin your life
But when I am good, I can bless an entire city and rally during the darkest day
When I am good, employers look hard to find me; Even kings long for my company
I can make marriages healthy or bring them down
I am the key to promotion, but I can also get you fired
I can make you friends or easily create some enemies
Those who control me find that many seek their advice
But those who I control wind up frustrated and looking for someone to blame
But there is no one to blame when I am bad--no one but you
And if you let me have my way, I will comfort you with bad thoughts about the ones you love and I will torment you with the mistakes you have made
I will push everyone close to you further away when I am bad
But I don’t have to be bad because I always listen to you
And when I am good there is no one to reward
No one but you
And if you make me behave, and I will if you make me, I will calm you with pleasant thoughts and you will find brightness in each day
You will sleep in peace so often that you will forget what it was like before you finally decided to keep me in line
Friends will find it hard to speak ill of you; Yes, they will refuse to do so
And they will pour into your lap bounty and goodness and gather themselves around you because that is where they find they desire to be
This I can bring, if you will only let me
If you will only make me be good
Who am I?
I am your attitude!
Most of the posts will be related to two of my passionate pursuits--innovating and regenerating! Innovating is about newness in us and through us. Regenerating is about giving away our best so it can spread.
