Attitude
The longer I live, the more I realize
the impact of attitude on life.
It is more important than the past,
thand education, than money,
than circumstances,
than failures, than successes,
than what other people 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, you have a choice every day
regarding the attitude you 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 life is 10 percent what happens to me
and 90 percent how I react to it.
And so it is for you.
You are in charge of your attitude.--Author unknown.
