Attitude

Here's a quote from Charles Swindoll that I think is a good reminder in this life.

"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 appearnace, giftedness or skill. It will make or break a company. . . a school. . .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 thing we have, and that is our attitude . . . I am convinced that life is 10% what happens to me and 90% how I react to it."

This is a great quote! So many times over the last year or so I've come across similar things. They are great reminders.

(by the way, I'm Tammy's sis-in-law) =)

Holly, you could print it out and post it on your desk.
