The longer I live, the more I realize the impact that attitude has on my life. Attitude, to me is more important than fact. It is more important than the past, than education, than money, than appearance, than circumstances, than successes, or even what other people think, say, or do about or to me. It will make or break a company, a church, a home or a person. The remarkable thing is that I have a choice what my attitude will be for that day.
I cannot change my past. I cannot change the fact that people will not act the way I want them to. The only thing I can do is play my song on the one string that I have, and that string is my attitude at this moment.
I am convinced that life is 10% what happens to me and 90% of how I react to it. And so it is with all of us. I am playing MY song, just for today?
