Attitude is more important than facts. It is more important than the past, than education than money, than circumstances, than failures, than success, 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 home. a relationship. The remarkable thing is we have a choice, every day regarding the attitude we will embrace for the day.
We cannot change our past. We cannot change the fact that other 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.
Robyn's two cents: I agree 100% in that as each of us go about our business on a day-to-day bases; i'ts our choice whether or not we will make the best of the day. Or, choose to have a crappy one. For instance, a few months ago, as I was driving into my office; I ran a red light. Can you believe that? I still can't -- dangerous, I know. Anyway, I didn't realize I had run it UNTIL....the red lights were flashin'. Anyway...so the Officer asked for my registration, DL, and Proof of Insurance. I truely believe my attitude had much to do with the Officer's decision to give me a "warning". I also took this as one another "God's wink" but that is on a different topic. (The comment of a "God Wink".) I believe in this instance, my attitude had much to do with the situation. I am finding that the more I choose to be positive regardless of what is going on at the time, I am more of a "smiley girl". I realize there are certain things I have no control over yet, I do have control of myself and how I react to situations in my life. Anyway..that's all I have to say about that...hey, What movie is that line from?
And the movie is....Forest GUMP!!
