Attitude, Optimism, Positive Thinking

From time to time we come across things that are just to good not to share. This inspirational quote by Charles Swindol, is just that...

"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 that the past, than education
than money, than circumstances,
than failures 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 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 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 Attitudes."
