Attitude

“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.”

I found this quote and find it very interesting. I never thought about how much of an impact attitude is on our lives. I always been preached by my mom to have a good attitude about everything and if i have a bad attitude about something then i won't enjoy what i'm doing. Attitude is judged by the outside and can make a difference on how people percieve you. I strive to have a good attitude about everything but i know that i fail miserable. There are many things that i hate to do and have a hard time conceiling that sometimes. Attitude can be seen in alot of things we do: in our faces, body language, and the way we talk. there are several people i see and remark on how they always seen angry about everything but i'm sure there are some people that think i'm a bitter person. I dont believe i'm a bitter person but i do have alot of problems with my personanality that i want to change. Attitude is one of the first things i need to change, but one thing i think that is more inportant than attitude is self confidence. this affects attitude. Self confidence is the biggest thing that affect people's life.
