bad attitude.

i have one.

i need a better attitude about work. i dont know how to secure this attitude adjustment. i think refocusing and intentionally engaging each day will be helpful.

perhaps i will start praying every morning. i used to do that.

i find this one helpful:

Prayer of the Optina Elders:

O Lord, grant unto me that with Thy Peace I may greet all that this day has to bring.
Help me to surrender myself completely to Thy holy Will.
In every hour of this day instruct and guide me in all things.
Whatever tidings I may receive during this day, do Thou teach me to accept them tranquilly,
in the firm belief that Thy holy Will governs all.
Govern Thou my thoughts and feelings, and all I do and say.
When unforseen things occur, let me not forget that all is sent by Thee.
Teach me to behave sincerely and reasonably toward everyone,
that I may bring confusion and sorrow to no one.
Bestow on me, O Lord, strength to endure the fatigue of the day and to bear my part in its events.
Teach me to pray, to believe, to hope, to suffer, to forgive, and to love. Amen.
