love lessons from survivor.

I love survivor... SO MUCH! I love the competitiveness. I love the drama. I love that the survivors seem to be clueless. Everyone is always so shocked when they are voted off. But here is a short lesson we can learn from the greatest reality show! Attitude weighs more than loosing. What I mean by this is something we can apply to life. The survivors that weigh the team down more are not the old slow survivors. They are the survivors with the poor attitude. It amazes me that both team moral and success seldom improvs when the physical weakest link is voted off and the team does not go on to improve. However, when the players with the bad attitude are voted off, the team seems to fly. The weight of a bad attitude is a heavy load. I often have bad attitude days... don't we all! But here is where I may be different than others. When I have a bad attitude, I know it. I sometimes dwell in my bad attitudes. I let my attitude weigh me down and affect every aspect of my life. I carry this weight around and get so used to it that after awhile it seems like nothing. I build up a tolerance to it. But, oh the sweet moment I let it go. That sweet savory moment that your bad attitude melts away. Don't you feel like you can fly when you let it go? I do. I feel good. I forget when made me mad. I feel like I can go on to win... Anything. It is just nice to vote off the attitude. The sad part about writing this is that I know I will go on to have bad attitudes in my life. Unfortunately it is human nature. Sin in its most selfish form. But here is what I hope I can do. I hope I can learn to let them go sooner than I would normally let go. I hope that I can remind my self of the strength gained by the beauty of leaving it behind. God is good. he gives us the strength we need to let go of the sin and negativity in life so that we can fly above it. Amen? Amen!
