Person (9) Character/Attitudes
An attitude is a thought that reflects a decision. I have decided to think about things in a particular way. Whereas we cannot control our emotions, we can control our attitudes. We can respond to a negative or corrupted emotion, by deciding to have an opposite attitude. In the table below, positive attitudes are on the left and negative on the right. Surprised
When we choose a particular attitude frequently, it becomes a habit. Attitudes that have become habits make our character. Our character is not something that can be seen. It is a set of attitudes that have become part of us, because we have made them part of us.
Virtues are attitudes that have made a home in our lives. The most frequently used word in the New Testament is "heart".
Do not set your heart on what you will eat or drink (Luke 12:29).
