YOUR BELIEFS DETERMINE YOUR ATTITUDES

Gary Smalley tells us "I can hardly overstate how life-changing it was to find that my beliefs, not my circumstances, determined my attitudes and actions. When I took my beliefs seriously and began to examine and change them, it did wonders for me by giving me a way to manage my emotions and form all of my actions. Look at some of the consequences of taking this belief concept into your heart and making it your own:

i. You stop complaining about everything.

ii. You stop judging one another.

iii. You stop trying to change your spouse and your family members.

iv. You stop pointing the finger at your spouse and take responsibility yourself."

(Smalley, I Promise)
