“Life is 10% of what happens to me an 90% of How I React to it”

When things aren’t working the way you want them to, or you feel you’re surrounded by problems, it can be tempting to look outward and try to change the things that you feel are causing issues. Chances are the issues you’re facing aren’t so cut and dryed. The solution to the problems might just be your attitude. That’s what Pastor and educator Charles R. Swindol believes:

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.

Good advice.
