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, the
education, the money, than circumstances, than failure, 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
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% of how I react to it. And so it is with
you... we are in charge of our Attitudes.”
~Charles R. Swindoll (American Writer and Clergyman, b.1934)
