Here we are at challenge number thirty! I realize we have had more than thirty challenges, including the weekend challenges and the seminar, but nevertheless - Challenge #30! They say it takes 30 days (or less) to form a habit. I hope by now, many of you who were with us from the beginning have formed a habit of demonstrating selfless love toward your spouse. I hope that each challenge is not just a "one-day" thing to each of you, but that you challenge yourself to remember to use many of the skills you've learned every single day. No one knows your spouse better than you do - you have seen what your spouse responds to and what they do not - use this information wisely.
Were you able to complete yesterday's prayer challenge? If not, go back to it and put forth every effort possible to complete it, remembering that we have already learned that agape love is not possible without the power of God.
Today I was thinking: there really is power in positivity. The same way a negative attitude can bring down everyone around you, a positive attitude can uplift! Be positive for the rest of the day. When circumstances arise, which they inevitably will, remain positive anyway. Let nothing cause a negative thought to enter your mind, or a negative word to exit your mouth - and if they do, dismiss them quickly. Try keeping this positive attitude for the next 24 hours, at minimum.
"A positive attitude is not a feeling but an underlying outlook we have toward people and toward life. It represents a hope and faith that is rooted within our hearts."
THANK YOU!
