Attitude

It's amazing, what we can accomplish with a positive attitude. I know I'm guilty of having a bad attitude at times. From experience I know a negative attitude doesn't produce positive results.

Our attitude can have a huge effect in the present and the future. So lets have a attitude that is contagious. To those who are stuck in despair. Let our attitude reflect Christ. Imagine what could be done! Imagine the impact. So, let's not imagine the lofty possibilities. Lets put it into action. This quote sums it up. Enjoy!


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 success, than what other people think or say or do. It is more important than appearance, gift, 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 10 percent what happens to me and 90 percent how I react to it. And so it is with you… we are in charge of our attitudes.” Charles Swindoll

This is basically an issue of identity. Who you are - what truth you live out of, what reality you dwell in...will it be on the Vine and of His life, or purely based upon what's in front of you superficially?

I like that, "play on the string we have" even my string tends to be off key...
