I read this quote everyday at work. It sits just above our copier so every time I make copies I read it. I wish I took it to heart more and really changed my attitude. I do think about it a lot! Just thought I would share."The longer I live, the more I realize the impact of attitude on my life. It's more important than education, than money, than circumstances, than failures, 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 that life is 10% what happens to me and 90% how I react to it. And so it is with you. . . "

What a way to start out the day. That was a great quote, and I agree with every word of it. Thanks for sharing.
sorry.. one more thing. I love, love, love, that photo of you and the Tetons(right?).
Sooo true. Now, I just have to remember that!
I grew up with that quote on my fridge. My mom really lives by that quote...I think I need some work. Thanks for sharing.
i love that and i honestly can't believe how much we affect our own lives just in our minds. and i LOVE that picture of you.
That is a great quote. Thank you. I needed it. It is amazing how easy it is to be negative or to get sucked into anothers negativity.
My mom always tells me to get rid of my "bad"-itude. But she's always right! It's all in your head most of the time.
