A Winning Attitude

I have had a negative attitude lately.  It shows.  My roping and my tying is going downhill, my horses aren't working as good for me, and I haven't been riding them like I know I should.  My confidence is shot, and honestly, I am dead broke.  College rodeo season starts next week and I might be struggling to make ends meet.  It is time for me to cut back on spending and I obviously need to change my attitude.
I am a very strong believer that rodeo is a mental sport.  There is no way that you can do something if you say that you cannot.  It is impossible.  My life is not going to straighten out until I fix the way I am thinking.  Luke 1:37 says that "Faith does not make things easy it makes them possible. "  I hate when I stop looking to God for help because things just start going downhill from him.  It is so hard for me to avoid temptation and to stay on the track that he has for me.  I need to constantly remind myself of the many things that he has blessed me with.  I have a wonderful family who supports me how ever they can.  My mother is always, ALWAYS there for me, even when I just do incredibly stupid things.  My father has given me every available opportunity he could, horses, hay, a pickup and trailer, and told me to finish college before worrying about paying him.  I have friends that push me in practice, help me with chores, come ride with me, calm me down when I am frustrated.  He has given me coaches who have poured their knowledge into me, even when I am being a stubborn knot head.  I have never had to go hungry, I have always had a roof over my head and more.  I have nothing to be negative about.  I have a great boyfriend, fantastic horses, fantastic friends and a loving family and so very much more.
How do I turn my attitude around.

1. I need to stop complaining.  Things could always be worse.
2. I need to pray. Long, hard, and a lot.
3. I need to tell myself that I can do anything if I work for it.  
4. Count my blessings, I am a rich girl that is for sure.  
5. Perfect Practice.  Why practice if your not going to it right?

I am sure that there are many other ways to fix my attitude and get my life, rodeo, and financial things in order.  It is just a matter of time, and a little bit of work, and a whole lot of faith.
