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 can make or break a company...a church...a home. What is so remarkable... is that we have a choice every day regarding the attitude we will embrace for each 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 thing we have and that is our attitude...

I am convinced that life is 10% of what happens to me and 90% of how I react to it.

So, it is with you...we are all in charge of our Attitudes.

Wow...that's true.
Though for me life is 10% what happens to me, 40% how I react, and 50% dreams, because I'm always spacing out.
But I guess life overall is influenced by the choices that we make.

Choices that we make yes... but luck must have its own proportionate percentage too...

So, 10% what happens, 20% luck, 20% choices, and 50% dreams.

I think that you need a bit of attitude to make it in today's world.
