Our children, our work, are they a burden or a responsibility? If our responsibilities have become burdens, then something is wrong. It would seem then we are not content with our circumstances and probably are hoping for a change.  <\/span><\/p>\n

Change – the word that frightens so many. For things to be different there has to be some sort of change in a gross way like a change of location, or in a subtle way, a change of attitude. The most meaningful change is a change of attitude.  <\/p>\n

In one second a burden vanishes when there is a change of attitude.<\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

Take for instance this situation. You are told to perform a certain task immediately, to complete it in less time with no reason given. Your responsibility becomes a burden. A few minutes later, however, you are told an individual of whom you are extremely fond requires this work. In a second your attitude changes. The task becomes your responsibility and not your burden, and out of love you complete the job in even less time.<\/p>\n

With a change of attitude, every situation improves. Sometimes it only takes a thought to create a change in attitude. We may have acquired many such keys through experience, but often we forget them or forget how to use them. <\/span><\/p>\n

When I bring to mind some keys I have found work, these thoughts create a positive attitude towards the change and transform burdens into responsibilities. <\/p>\n

Some \u2018key\u2019 examples are as follows.<\/p>\n

– I may not control what happens but I can control my attitude; thus I can master change rather than allowing it to master me.  <\/p>\n

– A bad attitude is like a flat tire, if I don\u2019t change it I\u2019ll never go anywhere.<\/p>\n

– Attitude is just a way of thinking. So I changed my thought process and I change my attitude.<\/p>\n

– I realize I need to change because a better way of life is in my hands.<\/p>\n

– Whatever change is happening, it is beneficial. <\/p>\n

– The only thing that is constant is change, so enjoy it.<\/p>\n
