"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 success,
than what other people think or say or do. It is more important than appearance,
gift, 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 10 percent what happens to me and 90 percent how I react
to it. And so it is with you... we are in charge of our attitudes. "
- Charles Swindoll
