It's Your Attitude


“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 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, gifted ability, 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 from that day. We cannot change our past, we cannot change the fact that people will act in certain way. We cannot change the inevitable. The only thing that we can do is play on the one string that we have and this string is, Attitude. I am convinced that life is ten percent what happens to me and ninety percent how I react to it. And so it is with you....We are in charge of our Attitudes.”

Hello Alexys,

Thanks for this beautiful reminder of how to navigate through this life. If there is one valuable lesson we can teach our loved ones, this one is it.

As always, I am inspired whenever I stop by your place.

Love and blessings!

Hi Miruh,

Navigating through those tunnels, twists and turns is nothing short of miraculous with love.

Thanks for taking us there.

Hello, followed some threads and landed here. Such a lovely site and soulfulness you offer. I have not read the Swindoll quote in years and it is so powerful. I appreciate the reminder. May we all choose wisely, choose love...

Having the right attitude is everything. It's not about seeing the world through rose coloured glasses, but it is very much about having perspective and choosing to appreciate the lessons life throws at us and taking it with a smile. Terrific reminder, Alexys! Thank you.

Hi Jan,

It IS a powerful quote isn't it? I love it. Thank you for finding me. Hope to see you again soon.

Hi Felicitas,

I like the way you look at it - with a smile. That's really a nice perspective.

I completely agree with those sentiments and have to remind myself of that regularly.

And it's always important to laugh.

Agreed. Today I share a laugh with you.
