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 the past, than education, than money, than circumstances, than failures, than successes, than what other people think, say or do. It is more important than appearance, giftedness, or skill...The remarkable thing is we have a choice every day regarding the attitude we 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 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...we are in charge of our attitudes.
Our Heads Are Round so Our Thoughts Can Change Direction
When we speak of reverence, we are talking about much more than mere quietness at our meetings. Reverence is an attitude of mind and heart. It involves a keen sense of God’s majesty and infinite goodness and our unworthiness and our need for Him and His redeeming grace. It includes a profound sense of the sacred and a desire to honor and protect it.
So much in life depends on our ATTITUDE. The way we choose to see things and respond to others makes all the difference.
