Taking Charge of Our Attitude

Don’t copy the behavior and customs of this world,
but let God transform you into a new person
by changing the way you think.
Then you will learn to know God’s will for you,
which is good and pleasing and perfect.
ROMANS 12:2 (NLT)


Back when I was dealing with my “New Physical Normal” I was given this quote by Chuck Swindoll. I loved it so much that I had it printed, framed and hung it in my office. If you are experiencing any kind of “New Normal”, I hope that this is as much of an encouragement to you as it was to me.


ATTITUDE
by
Charles 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 failure, than successes, 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 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 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.”



On the journey with you,
