Attitude!

I received this little ditty in my email box yesterday and I just had to share it:

ATTITUDE
by Charles Swindoll

"The longer I live, the more I realize the impact of attitude on my 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.
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 string 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."

This is so true. It is the attitudes of people that shape the environment of our world. For that reason I choose to have a positive attitude. Sure there are days where it's a little more difficult to do, but my attitude is the one thing that I have total control over.
