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, the education, the money, than circumstances, than failure, 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 everyday 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 one string we have, and that is our attitude. I am convinced that life is 10% what happens to me and 90% of how I react to it. And so it is with you... we are in charge of our Attitudes.” Charles Swindoll

Last week in our meeting at work one a the ladies shared this quote. I have thought about it all week and I feel that it is true. I work on my attitude all the time and this is a good reminder that it all starts with ME!

I started to read this and though oh my goodness Colette is very eloquent and then I saw it was a quote! Haha, but I always love what you say and share and I really liked this quote a lot. You are one who practices what she preaches and that is one of the many things I love about you. :)
