“The longer I live, the more I realize the impact of attitude on life.
Attitude, to me is more important that 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 appearances, 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 that we have, and that is our attitude…
I am convinced that life is ten percent what happens to me and ninety percent how I react to it.
And so it is with you… we are in charge of our attitudes.”

I liked what you said “I am convinced that life is ten percent what happens to me and ninety percent how I react to it.” I completely agree as well. We all get dealt certain hands in life, but it's all about how we react to it. Thanks for sharing!
Thanks, Christine. I had this framed for my husband - he needs to be reminded, like we all do, that we are who we let ourselves be.
