The Power of Attitude

The pastors of Hoffmantown Church in Albuquerque, NM had a 3-day retreat to get away on focus on both heart issues and leadership strategy. We spent a significant portion of our time on the subject of "The Power of Attitude."

Here are some of the highlights:

The Power of Attitude - You can change the world. Start by changing you.

1. ALWAYS BE THANKFUL - Problems have silver linings as they provide opportunities to grow. 1 Thes 5:18,
2. LIVE IN HOPE - Picture your End Goal       Romans 8:18, 24-25   
3. FULFILL YOUR PURPOSE - Realize your Motivation Eph 2:10
4. BE YOUR BEST - Know “Who you are” – Being Precedes Doing.    Romans 5:2-5
5. GIVE YOUR ALL - Leave it all on the field.  2 Cor 9:6-8
6. PUT OTHERS FIRST – Value and serve others as relationships give meaning to life. Phil 2:3-4
7. FOCUS ON THE ETERNAL - A long-term perspective of gratitude gives unusual light on today’s challenges. Mt 6:33
8. ATTACK THE DAY - Perseverance pays a dividend.   Dan 11:32

“It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat.” - President Teddy Roosevelt

“Never, Never, Never give up.“ - Winston Churchill

Take Action. Do not be afraid of difficulties.  Eph 6:10-11, Phil 3:13-14
