Charles Swindoll said this about attitude, '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 or say or do. It is more important than appearance, giftedness or skill. It will make or break a company . . a church . . a home. . a marriage. . a family . .a career.'
He continued, 'The remarkable thing is we have a choice every 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.'
Amen to that! Let me encourage you to re-read that message from Mr. Swindoll and to the extent that you 'get it', you will be living your very best life!
