Every day, we
have a choice about what kind of attitude we'll carry throughout
the next 24 hours. Strike that and make it the next hour.
We can't change the past. We can't change how people act or speak
or think. We can, maybe, change the next hour or so by doing
the right thing right now.
The only cards we can play is the hand we're holding now. That's
what we mean by "attitude."
Attitude is more
important than facts. It's more vital than past or future, money
or education. It's more important than success or failure (although
it's a crucial factor in both), and it matters more than what
other people say or do to us.
Appearance, ability,
and circumstance don't have all that much to do with attitude,
either, which determines entirely how we face and deal with each
moment.
A negative or
improper attitude can make or break a company, home, or person.
Life is ten percent actuality and ninety percent reactuality.
We're in charge
of our attitudes. Thank God for that!
