Attitudes

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 circumstances, than failures, than successes, than what other people think, say, or do.

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 can, however, look to the future, starting with today. Our attitude influences how others will act.

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
