“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, 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.”
Holger:
I like Charles’ 10/90% formula.
I had my own attempt to become scientific:
“The sense of separation
is 10% faulty thinking
and 90% muscle-memory.”
Yes, attitude is fundamental, but who is in charge?
Is there a personal, separate “me” that can change, or is beneficial change the byproduct of a deeper embrace of Being; seeing that we are not who we think we are.
