“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 circumstance, than failure,
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 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
life is ten percent what happens to me
and ninety percent how I react to it.
And so it is with you and me …
We are in charge of
(nothing but)
our attitudes.”
~ Charles Swindoll

Now if I could only remember this one too. Time for treatment. Calling God. Hello, God. Come in, God.
