What type of attitude will you have this week?

Last week, I shared the wonderful vimeo of the remake of The Bear and The Hare. It was a great way to remember that relationships are key to making our life whole and meaningful. One of the key ways to stop our normal routine and see life for all that God created it to be.

I wanted to share with you the making of the video. It not only shows the painstaking detail and work that goes into the end product, but it shows the overwhelming joy that each person had in making the vimeo. Their joy heightened my joy when watching the hare introduce the bear to Christmas for the first time.

Imagine for a moment if any of the creators hated their part of the process. Imagine if someone came in sulking or upset. Imagine what the end product would look like if one of them decided they didn't really want to be there, but it had to be done. I think the negative attitude very well could have affected the end product; it probably would be an end product that I really wouldn't want to see.

How many times have you said that about a project you were working on - "It has to be done".  Do you think that affected the outcome of the project you were working on? Do you think that may have made it harder for others to work with you? Do you think it may have hurt the creativity in your position or team?

This week, as you are going to work or going to your child's activity or going to the social function you are scheduled to attend, look at your attitude. Think about the end result you want your actions to have.  Swap out the "I have to go" attitude with the joyfulness attitude and see what happens.

Have a great week.
