LIVE BY THE GOLDEN RULE,
IF POSSIBLE


IF POSSIBLE
Imagine how wonderful it would
be if the whole problem of inter
racial relations was nothing more
than a bad dream. 1t COULD be
if all of the nations spent one
tenth or more as much time trying
to teach the brotherhood of man
and unity of ALL RACES as they
do TRYING to keep the darker"
races down.
Thinking what caused the vari-
Gus attitudes of some people I
looked in the American Everyday
dictionary, and for the definition
of attitude is position, disposition
or manner.
Webster says attitudes mean, q
state of mind or a form Of be-
haviour. So you see we have to
change from a negative thought
to one that is wholesome and when
you have had one attitude instilled
in you for years it is hard to
change but if you really want to,
YOU certainly can make the change.
Have you ever stopped to think
what your attitude toward life
really is? TT IS WHAT YOU
THINK! In order to change your
attitude you must first have the
desire to be more tolerant, and
being tolerant is being kind, one
to another.
AS you grow older you find a
great many attitudes need to be
changed in order that you may be-
come better men and women. Once
you see your own faults and pre-
JUDGES you are on the right track.
The first time you can really say.
IT am wrong and DO something
about making that wrong right,
you are on the way to being a
successful man or woman.
1t Is hard to change our way Of
thinking because we have been
thinking that way so long but If
you really mean to be big and
broadminded you can. Use a little
will power and you will find your
self very happy trying to make
others happy, whether they are
relatives, friends or not.
In this life we have to constant
ly make adjustments. For some 1t
seems to be easy but for others it
is a long upward climb but once
you have changed your way of
thinking you will soon win and
reach the goal you have set for
yourself.
DR.. Mollie Narrower, consultant
in PSYCHOLOGY to the Army says,
Human nature is plastic, flexible
and has tremendous possibilities.
But there is no such thing as sud
denly changing an attitude. An at
titude is a living thing that has
grown up with us. II it Is to be
changed Il must be changed grad
ually."
When you get to the place you
think you are better than your
friends or neighbors it is high
time to change your attitude. They
may feel the same toward you.
Think we'll Of yourself, yes, but be
reasonably sure that you have the
right to feel better. That takes in
a lot of territory.
Some time ago looking for one
certain piece of poetry read this,
Carl Holmes, in the Elizabeth IN.
J.) Daily Journal writes: II you
can improve your attitudes life
will become less difficult, more
satisfying and much more worth
while. Your attitudes will then
work FOR you instead Of against
you.
My New Way OF Thinking
To live from the inside Out
Rather than from the Outside in.
To see God through my problem
Rather than Just ask God to solve
my problems.
To look upon all things
Not as ends in themselves
But as Windows
Through which I can know and
see God.
