Impact of Attitude on Life ~~ Charles R. Swindoll

Came across this quote from Charles R. Swindoll while surfing the internet.

“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.”

I can relate to this. I believe it is our attitude towards all the failures, achievements and our life in general that keeps us going. Thing go wrong and many a times they go horribly wrong; all we have to do is keep standing and plan our move to get something good out of the failures or at least a lesson that can make us a little wiser. In the end all that is left from our worst experiences is something good that makes us stronger.
