Attitude

 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 others 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 

everyday 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.
