HUMMINGBIRD OR BUZZARD MENTALITY?
We cannot always determine our situation. We may always choose our attitude. Viktor Frankl was a courageous survivor of
Nazi Germany’s World War II concentration camps. In his classic book, “Man’s Search for
Meaning,” Frankl wrote “Everything can be taken from a man but one thing, that
is to choose one’s attitude in any given set of circumstances, to choose one’s
way.” Truth.
The best way I can portray diverse life attitudes is to contrast
the hummingbird and the vulture, both of whom survive in our nation’s deserts. Vultures subsist on rotting meat; therefore,
that’s all that they look for and see.
On the other hand, hummingbirds seek colorful desert plants for nourishment.
Vultures live on what was – thriving on
the past, that which is dead and gone.
Hummingbirds live on what is – filling themselves with freshness and
life. Their attitude toward living
things (present or past) mobilizes their daily search and diet.
What does your attitude motivate you to seek for life
nourishment? What are you hungry
for? Think.
Sisters and brothers, be continually blessed, and
please (above all else) MAKE SURE YOU ARE READY TO MEET OUR SOON COMING KING.
Maranatha!
