Attitude is everything!  

Posted by Dana Lynn Thompson

I've always loved the idea that each day when you wake up, you can choose to have a good day or a bad day. Of course, this choice is often easier on the weekend! LOL! I stumbled across this quote on another blog I read and thought it was a nice reminder that, indeed, attitude is everything.

Great set of comments from 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 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 percent what happens to me and 90 percent how I react to it. And so it is with you...we are in charge of our attitudes.

Have a great day!! Dana
