Attitude

The longer I live, the more I
realize the impact 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, 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.
