"The game of life is the game of boomerangs. Our thoughts, words, and deeds return to us, sooner or later, with astounding accuracy."

I do believe that if people would just start by saying

"it's fun," when it seems hard;

"I'm happy," when they seem sad;

and "I know," when it seems as if they don't,

they'd finally discover 

that it really is,

they really are,

and they always have.

Works for me,

"Whenever you're in conflict

with someone, there is one

factor that can make the

difference between damaging

your relationship and deepening it.

That factor is attitude."

A daily choice . . . .

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 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, gifted ability, 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 from 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 that we can do is play on the one string that we have and this string is Attitude. I am convinced that life is 10% what happens to me and 90%t how I react to it. And so it is with you.....We are in charge of our Attitudes.

-Charles R. Swindoll  

"You cannot control what happens to you, but you can control your attitude toward what happens to you, and in that, you will be mastering change rather than allowing it to master you."
