Attitude is a Little Thing

We discuss it at nearly every training, we remind each other about it in the office and I even catch myself occasionally right before (or right after) cursing a driver for cutting me off.  Attitude.  Its a choice we must make everyday and a choice that impacts every aspect of our lives.  It felt most appropriate to spend the inaugural Executive Focus blog reflecting on the words of 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 failures, than successes, than what other people think or 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.

And so it is with you... we are in charge of our attitudes."
-Charles Swindoll
 
So take a moment to consider how you are going to embrace your day, how you are going to play the one string, how you are going to react to what happens.  Attitude. 
 
Good luck.
