“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, the education, the money, than circumstances, 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 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 we have, and that is our attitude. I am convinced that life is 10% what happens to me and 90% of how I react to it. And so it is with you... we are in charge of our Attitudes.” Charles R. Swindoll is correct we are in charge of our attitudes, but also in charge of our life. Every decision we make determines whether or not tomorrow we are struggling or stressed out. Therefore, we are more responsible for who we are, the actions we make, the words we speak, the text we write and life we live. Life is supposed to be a happy time in our existence, not one where we are constantly stressed out due to the struggles you face on the daily basis; whether those struggles include love, finances or just life, altogether. Life’s simple point is to live your life happy and no matter where you are now in your life, you can still achieve this.
