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, than education, than money, 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 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 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.

Anyway

People are often unreasonable,
Ill-logical and self-centered;
Forgive them anyway.
If you are kind,
People may accuse you of selfish, ulterior motives;
Be kind anyway.
If you are successful,
You will win some false friends and some true enemies;
Succeed anyway.
If you are honest and frank,
People may cheat you;
Be honest and frank anyway.
What you spend years building,
Someone could destroy overnight;
Build anyway.
If you find serenity and happiness,
They may be jealous;
Be happy anyway.
The good you do today,
People will often forget tomorrow;
Do good anyway.
Give the world the best you have,
It may never be enough;
Give the world the best you’ve got anyway.
You see, in the final analysis,
It is between you and God;
It never was between you and them anyway.

THe Bottom Line

Face it, nobody owes you a living, what you achieve in your lifetime is directly related to what you do or fail to do.
No one chooses his parents or childhood but you can choose your own direction.
Everyone has problems and obstacles to overcome but that too is relative to each individual.
NOTHING IS CARVED IN STONE.
You can change anything in your life, if you want to badly enough.
Excuses are for losers. Those who take responsibility for their actions are real winners in life.
Winners meet life’s challenges head on, knowing there are no guarantees and give it all they’ve got.
And never think it’s too late or too early to begin.
Time plays no favorites and will pass whether you act or not.
TAKE CONTROL OF YOUR LIFE.
Dare to dream and take risks…
If you aren’t willing to work for your goals, please don’t expect others to.
Believe in yourself.
