Victor Frankl , years ago, taught us that " The Greatest power that we have is the ability to control our attitudes" so...

 why do we so often run our lives by the engine of our attitudes! Why do we decide whether we are kind or curt- in fact publically unkind and cruel towards others- because of the attitude that we have toward that other
person.

 It twists us into people who, in our better moments, that we really do NOT wish to be- people we strongly regret portraying ourselves as! Some will say life is too short and sometime " I simply feel as I feel and react and respond as I react and respond."

Then, We are inclined to say that people " misread us or misunderstand us". While the way someone sees us at any ONE given moment may not be the way we ALWAYS behave- may NOT be us at our best- it is the snapshot they have of us. It is the impression we give provide to them. If he or she only meet us once, It just might be THE impression they have of us- the idea they have of WHO we are for THE REST of their LIFE!

 So, There does seem to be value in challenging and controlling our attitudes!
