Life in Progress

"I've learned that you shouldn't be afraid to change: instead be afraid to stay where you are..If you let fear of change rule you, you will live never knowing there is a fuller life out there that is yours for taking."

It's all about the 'tude.

I recently received this at a meeting... It is by Charles Swindoll.

The longer I live, the more I realize the impact of attitude on life. Attitude, to me, is more important than fact. It is more important than the past, than education, than money, than circumstances, than failures, 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 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% of what happens to me and 90% how I react to it. And so it is with you...we are in charge of our Attitudes.

And as I embrace this I hope to apply it to the way I go through each day of my life. I find myself repeating the saying in bold, since receiving this, daily. We can control only one thing, and that is the way we react to each of life's little bumps in the road.

For anyone who happens to pass by I hope this makes a difference in your life as well.
