Attitude

One of the many things I like about social media and networking is learning new things from other people.  For example, on Facebook, every member has their own information page where they can document their families, education and careers, favorite movies and television shows, and make a list of favorite quotations. 

This morning I received a Facebook message from a friend.  I decided to take a look at her information page, and this wonderful quote by Rev. Charles Swindoll is what I found: 

"I believe the single most significant decision I can make on a day-to-day basis is my choice of attitude. It is more important than my past, my education, my bankroll, my successes or failures, fame or pain, what other people think of me or say about me, my circumstances, or my position. Attitude keeps me going or cripples my progress. It alone fuels my fire or assaults my hope. When my attitudes are right, there is no barrier too high, no valley too deep, no dream too extreme, no challenge too great for me."

  

What a powerful quote to begin the week.  I will hold it dear.  Maybe you will too.
