Attitude
Having a rough day? Frustrated at people you work with or have to deal with? Feeling like screaming, throwing things, or strangling someone?
Do something about!
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 and say. 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 out 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.

This was a huge revelation to me in my own life. It is amazing how the world can literally change before your eyes when you remove the “lens” of a bad attitude or outlook on life. Thanks for sharing this!
