Impact of Attitude

The only thing we can do is play on the one string that we have, and that is our 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 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 that we have, and that is our 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.

The Serenity Prayer


    God grant me the serenity to accept
the things I cannot change;
courage to change the things I can;
and wisdom to know the difference.
