My moment of "sanity"

Hmmm... I am "learning" alot about myself, and hopefully through this blog I will be able to finally "understand" myself. I will be co-contributing this article with Adrian. He is currently deployed a world away from me in Iraq. (Serving in Operation Enduring Freedom) Rather than pour my thoughts and feelings into a personal journal, I decided to share my daily world with others...

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, then circumstances, than failures,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 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 25% what happens to me and 75% how I react to it. And so it is with you. We are in charge of our attitudes.
