Guest guest Posted January 1, 2004 Report Share Posted January 1, 2004 ATTITUDE Attitude is more important than the past, than education, than money, than circumstances, than what people do or say. It is more important than appearance, giftedness, or skill. The remarkable thing is, we have a choice everyday regarding the attitude we will embrace for that day. We cannot change our past. We can not change the fact that people act in a certain way. We can not change the inevitable. The only thing we can do is play on the one string we have, and that is our attitude. from Strengthening Your Grip by Swindoll Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted October 1, 2011 Report Share Posted October 1, 2011  I've learned through my various challenges too, that focusing on what you CAN do is far more helpful than dwelling on what you can't. I think the occasional pity party is okay, as long as you can shake it off fairly quickly and use it to deal with emotions in a healthy way. You are an awesome inspiration though. I know you may not think of yourself that way, but your daily challenges are more than most people, yet you do more physically than most people too. Thanks for posting this!
