ATTITUDE by Charles Swindoll
“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, than education, than money, than circumstances, than failures, than successes, than what other people think, 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 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 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”
Oh how true this message is!
It’s fruitless to try and control life – it’s a force that can’t be tamed. What do have the power to control is our attitude, which influences our thoughts, which influence our actions.
Empowering post Bella!

impressive poem, thanks for sharing this gem Bella … that 10-90% ratio has been taught in workshops for many decades but planting it in this beautiful poem makes it memorable again!

exactly but it’s been a known fact for at least sixty decades 🙂 People don’t want to hear it so to disguise it this way is masterful!
