A Positively Charged Attitude

--by PayingForward, posted Apr 6, 2009

"The longer I live, the more I realize the impact of attitude on life. Attitude to me, is more important than circumstances, than failures, than success, than what other people think or say or do. It is more important than appearances, talents, or skill. It will make or break a company, a church, and a home. The remarkable thing is that 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 breaks down to the following percentage: 10% is what happens to you and 90% of life is how you react to it. We are in charge of our Attitudes."

-Charles Swindoll

May today find each of us making a conscious effort to embrace a positive attitude with grace and peace, no matter the situation in which we find ourselves.

Thanks PayingForward for reminding.

Some time back I had posted an artcle, "90/10 Principle" (of Steven Covey). Something similar u have mentioned. If u feel inspired to read then do so, it is interesting.
On the positive attitude note,
with love,
