Default My son gave this to me, please read

Attitude
by Charles Swindoll

The longer I live, the more I realize the impact of my attitude on life. Attitude, to me, if more important that 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, giftedness or skill. It will make or break a company...a church... a home.

The remarkable think 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% how I react to it.

And so it is with you....

Excellent!

This is something like what I have taped to my refrigerator. It is similar. I like to keep reading it daily and to reflect upon it.

It just takes too much energy to take this life too seriously.

I agree! MOST things take too much energy...especially a bad attitude!

Thanks for that reminder!! I've always enjoyed listening to Chuck Swindoll on the radio. Sometimes when the day is extra bad, I tend to forget, but eventually a better attitude prevails. Like Cindy said, it takes too much energy to have a bad one!
