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, then
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.
