ATTITUDE: Chuck 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

success, than what other people think, 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.”^32
