Note: I saw my mistake in the last blog and corrected it. I am so sorry to confuse you all. 


WHAT DO YOU THINK?

* Six months from now, which one will be a more capable employee -Alex or Brian? 


*If you were an employer, which of those two men would you be more likely to hire or keep on your payroll? 

* When you face disappointment, which of those two men do you react like?

Andrea and Brittney suffer from bouts of loneliness. Each of them has a different way of coping with the situation. 

Andrea focuses most of her attention on herself. She refuses to do things for others unless they do things for her first. She reasons, 'Why should I waste my time on people who give me nothing in return?' 

Brittney makes a concerted effort to be kind to people and to do things for others, whether they seem appreciative or not. She lives by the Golden Rule-to treat others as she would like to be treated. (Luke 6:31) For Brittney doing good is its own reward.

WHAT DO YOU THINK? 

* Which of these two women would you rather have as a friend? 

* Which one is more likely to feel satisfied with her relationships? 

* If you suffer from bouts of loneliness is your approach more like Andrea's or Brittney's? 

You probably know people who fit the profile of Brian and Brittney. You might even feel  that you are like them. If so, undoubtedly you can see that your attitude can make a difference in your life. On the other hand, what if you are more like Alex or Andrea? Consider three ways the Bible can help you to adopt a more positive view of life's struggles.
