Attitude


The longer I live, the more I realize the impact of attitude on my 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 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 string we have, and that is our attitude ... I am convinced that life is ten percent what happens to me and ninety percent how I react to it. And so it is with you ... we are in charge of our attitudes.

For the most part this is kind of a guy thing. Some people take normal everyday things personally. Don Shula once said "Problems are just a question in search of an answer"

What I said is to remind me that it doesn't matter if I had a screwed up earlier life. My parents did the best possible job they could. (Mine actually did pretty well, considering.)

In a lot of cases, the job done was horrible. Incredibly crappy. Criminal. But even though we can acknowledge that for what it is, it doesn't matter. We have to on with the rest of our lives dealing with those problems. We may not be responsible for all of them, but we are responsible for the solution.
