Attitude
Ten days of slowdown - Day #2
There has been a second poem on my pinboard for nearly 15 years. I do not remember where it came from and how it got thereā¦ but it has been there for a ride with me for quite a while.
It is āAttitudeā by Charles Swindoll.
ATTITUDE
"The longer I live, the more I realize the impact of attitude on life.Ā
Attitude, to me, is more important than facts.Ā Ā 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.Ā Ā It is more important than appearance, giftedness or skill.Ā Ā It will make or break a company... a church... a home.Ā
The remarkable thing is we have a choice every day regarding the attitude we embrace for that day.Ā Ā We cannot change our past... we cannot change the fact that people will act in a certain way.Ā Ā We cannot change the inevitable.Ā Ā The only thing we can do is play 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 Attitudesā
ā Charles Swindoll
