Words from Charles Swindoll - So true!

I read this on Joy's blog and I asked her if I could put this on my blog... So true and very good! :) Thanks, Joy! :)


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, money, circumstances, failures, 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 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 a certain way. We cannot change the inevitable. The only thing we can do is play on the one thing 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."

The BIBLE said it FIRST, ' let every man be swift to HEAR, slow to speak, and slow to wrath. I have learned that you can hurt others so quickly by opening your mouth too soon. I am working on that daily and hoping for a better tomorrow.
