The longer I live, the more I
realize the importance of attitude on life. Attitude, to me, is more
important than facts.
It is more important than the
past, than education, than money, than circumstances, than failures, than
successes, than what other people think or say or do. It is more important
than appearance, giftedness, or skill. It will make or break a company …a
church …a home.
The remarkable thing is we have
a choice every day regarding the attitude we will embrace for that day. We
cannot change our past… we cannot change the fact that people will act in
a certain way. We cannot change the inevitable.
The only thing we can do is
play on the one string we have, and that is our attitude…
I am convinced that life is 10%
what happens to me and 90% how I react to it. And so it is with you… we
are in charge of our attitudes.
