Attitude Check

"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 success, 

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 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 string we have, 

and that is our attitude. 

I am convinced that life is 

10 percent  what happens to me

and 90 percent how I react to it. 

We are in charge of our attitudes."
