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, 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 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.
