Attitude

by

Charles Swindoll

"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 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."
