Attitude is Everything

This one the best books on attitude that I have read. Keith Harrell talks about how to look at  life from a different perspective. One of the wonderful sections of his book was in the chapter titled "Your Attitude Tool Kit" He list one of his favorite affirmations by Pastor Chuck Swindoll. Called "Attitudes" and it is one that should read everyday and then you will start to make it your own or change it where it fits your life.

                                 ATTITUDES
Words can never adequately convey the incredible impact of our attitude toward life. The longer I live the more convinced I become that life is 10 percent what happens to us and 90 percent how we respond to it.
  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 or me of say about me, my circumstances, or my position. Attitude keeps me going or criples my progress. It alone fuels my fire or assaults my hope. When my attitudes are right, there's no barrier too high, no valley too deep, no dream too extreme, no challenge too great for me.

  It is wisdom that we should all live by, Change the way you look at things, and the things you look at will change. When I heard that simple little sentence I started to look at my world differently... I hope that everyone is off to an amazing 2011
