This is a profound statement on the importance of our own, personal attitude by Charles Swindoll. This has impacted me deeply and powerfully. I hope it does for you, as well.
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, 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 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 to play on the one string we have,
and that is our attitude.
I am convinced that life is 10% what happens to us and 90% how I react to it.
And so it is with you — we are in charge of our attitude.
