ATTITUDE AND LIFE

The longer I live, the more I realize the impact of attitude on life. Attitude… is more important than the past, the education, the money, than circumstances, than failure, 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 country a company…or …a home. The remarkable thing is we have a choice everyday regarding the attitude we will embrace for that day. We cannot change our past…we cannot change the inevitable. The only think we can do is play on the one string we have, and that is our attitude. I am convinced that life is 10 per cent what happens to me and 90 per cent of how I react to it. And so it is with you.
