Attitude
The longer I live, the more I realize the impact of attitude on life. Attitude, to me, is more important than education, than money, than circumstances, than failures, than success, 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 everyday regarding the attitude we embrace for that day. We cannot change our past… we cannot change the fact that people 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.

LOVE this… What’s more, the attitudes we decide to embrace are highly contagious! Our decision to exemplify a positive attitude reaches far beyond ourselves. There are few things in life as personally rewarding as allowing our attitudes and actions to postively elevate the lives of those around us (family, friends, fellow team members, customers). Excellent read… Thanks for sharing Betty Carol!
Kirk, thank you for sharing your thoughts. This has been one of my favorite writings since I came across it in the early 90’s.
