Thought provoking

I saw this framed quote on Friday in the employees restroom of the respiratory therapy center of all places. (Rachel has to check out the facilities everywhere we go these days.) I loved it and it really describes how Jeff and I have tried to face things lately. Though we have a long way to go ourselves.

Quote by Charles Swindoll

"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, than education, than money, than circumstances, than failures, than successes,than what other people think of, 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..we are in charge of our Attitudes."
