How does our attitude change the truth of our circumstances?
ReplyDeleteIt doesn't take long for your attitude to plummet down to all negativity. Your attitude can and will most of time change the outcome of what you want. But sometimes you can't always change your attitude but you can change your circumstances even if you don't want it to. You can't control it. Attitude is the little thing that makes a big difference when saying the truth. If wanting to say the truth of a circumstance tone down with the attitude or not have any at all.
I agree with your statements about attitude and how it can affect a situation.

ReplyDeleteI agree with theses statements because they are right. People can overcome anything if they just put their mind to it. Have a positive attitude at all times. "If you don't like something, change it. If you can't change it, change the way you think about it". -Marry Engelbreit. Even though it is hard to change your attitude its still important to at least try to change it.
ReplyDeleteI like the quote you quoted in your response to the question
DeleteI do agree with the majority of these quotes espeically this one , " You may not be able to change the circumstances but you can change on how you react to them". This reminds me of a story about a young athlete Brian Banks who was fasely prorscuted at the age 18 for raping a 15 year-old girl in the "make out corner" in their highschool located in California. Brian Banks spent 10 years in jail watching his talent of being an all-star football player fade away like the hot breath on the cold window. Even after the truth was revealed Brian Banks just wasnt where he needed to be in order to make it far in pro football, however Brian banks didn't retalitiate with anger instead he made lemonade out of oranges, meaning although he was dealt a bad deck of cards he didnt waste the remainder of hs lifetime pondering on how things could have been for him if the incident didn't happen but instead he made the best outcome from a bad input.
ReplyDeleteI agree with you and I like how you used evidence to back your answer up.
DeleteI would have to agree with your not able to change some circumstances that happens to you but you can change how you react to them like some things you can't go crazy about you just have to be calm. And can't really over react on stuff if its not really that big of a deal. But your attitude can change some stuff that happens to you like if you have a negative attitude or a positive attitude then that can effect the out come.
ReplyDeleteI like the response you made.
DeleteI agree that your attitude can change the outcome of something.
DeleteI agree with your statement and how yes attitude does change your outcome
DeleteI agree with the things that you don't have to react,
Deletethat is not a really big deal.
I agree with the above statements presented in this post. True, we all have free will and can change how we act in certain circumstances in order to get through the circumstances we are dealing with. In addition, our attitude can make us get into a positive or negative situation depending on what is happening regarding where you are and the people around you. An example of the first would be if a bear walks up to you, do you attack or run away? Either way, you'll probably end up seriously injured or dead, or alternatively a slim chance of killing the bear and getting away with your life. An example of the second would be that if you are in a place where people would be expected to be happy all the time, like at an amusement park and you were spiteful and angry all the time, you would stick out like a sore thumb in photo albums and more likely than not your family members and/or loved ones will scold you for slouching, which in turn makes you more angry.
ReplyDeleteI partly agree with these statements. I agree that you can overcome almost anything if you work hard enough. Many athletes have bad games, injuries, and critics. They work hard and forget about the critics and comeback strong. I do think that your attitude can effect things that can happen to you. If you have a bad attitude then people you'll get in trouble and get looked over. Having a bad attitude about things won't get you anywhere.
ReplyDeleteYou can change how you react to them by the way you act, they way you live your life. You can have a negative vibe negative things are going to happen to you. If your positive, positive things will happen to you. "People can overcome just about anything if they try hard enough", yes they can overcome because they need to stay positive and believe in themselves.
ReplyDeleteAttitude is a powerful feeling that happens to you which you can control or probably not. I agree with these statements because people could control them self into what is their issue is and why they have a attitude about the things he or she did in the past. You can change how you react to your circumstances by saying you are still worth in the future and you are still their because people still care about you.People who work hard can control their attitudes into positive attitude.
ReplyDeleteI agree that you cannot change your circumstances, but you can change the way you react to it. You can lose your mind about it or you can just stay calm and get through it. I believe your attitude can have an affect on the things that can happen to you, because if you have a bad attitude people aren't going to want to be around you and sooner or later if you keep it up, they're going to get tired of it. You can't overcome everything, but you can learn how to live with it. You learn to not let little things get to you.
ReplyDeleteI agree with you because you can't change your circumstances but you can change how you chose to react to it. Also the fact that you brought up the bad attitude that no one will want to be around you if you have a bad attitude.
DeleteI disagree and agree with the statements above. I disagree with the fact that attitude has no effect on what can happen to you. I find it that if I had bad attitude with an adult or my peer that can effect my relationship with him/her. Though I do strongly agree with the fact of anyone can overcome anything if they try hard enough. I also agree with how you can not change your circumstances but you can change the way you react to them if it is negative or positive.
ReplyDelete"You may not be able to change your circumstances, but you can change how you react to them." I agree with this statement because it isn't always possible to change what situation your in but you can always change your attitude towards it.
ReplyDelete"Your attitude has no effect on the things that can happen to you."
I disagree with this because your attitude can determine what happens to you, if you have a bad day, it can be even worse with a bad attitude.
"People can overcome just about anything if they try hard enough."
I agree that people can overcome just about anything but not everything. Sometimes you just can't make something go your way and you have to accept what happened.
