"The longer I live, the more I realize the impact
of attitude on life. Attitude, to me, is more important than the past,
than education, than money, than circumstatances, 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."
-Charles Swindoll
