I try to be very careful with my attitude around my kids. More specifically, I try to be careful with my words. But not just my words around my kids…

…My words to others. my words online. my words to myself under my breath. Because my words directly reflect my attitude…

And my attitude with regard to my kids WILL build them up or bring them down.

We can’t always control our circumstances, but our ATTITUDE about those circumstances is something with which we have direct control.
