Adoch's Thought Of The Day: As I mature I continue to learn that my attitude towards a situation determines the duration and outcome. It's similar to getting needles from the doctor. Doctors tell you to relax and breath for multiple reasons. Some even tell you to count to 10. The reasons for this are: 

(1) If I tense up I can end up getting hurt or hurting myself

(2) It can complicate the simple procedure 

(3) It will take longer for the medicine to administer and/or the body may reject it. 

(4) Lastly the counting to 10 is not only A distraction mechanism but to prove that the discomfort is only for a limited time.

 This is the same with life's challenges. If I tease up and have a negative attitude it will take longer to "grow" through the situation I'm facing. Not to mention my attitude can complicate the situation by making it harder or pushing away the people who are "assigned" to help. This ends up making the situation last longer than it really should because I end up having more lessons to learn. I trust that God is in control and that all things work together for the good for who love Him. I have to face the challenge knowing that it won't last forever.  It's definitely easier said than done but it gets easier with practice. I'm determined to "grow" through what I'm "going" through. 

(Disclaimer: I AM NOT A DOCTOR OR EVEN STUDIED MEDICINE, however I have had my share of needles and doctors.)
