A family is a place where principles are hammered and honed on the anvil of everyday living.
A teardrop on earth summons the King of heaven.
Alleged "impossibilities" are opportunities for our capacities to be stretched.
Each day of our lives we make deposits in the memory banks of our children.
The difference between something good and something great is attention to detail.
The remarkable thing is, we have a choice everyday regarding the attitude we will embrace for that day.
The secret of living a life of excellence is merely a matter of thinking thoughts of excellence. Really, it's a matter of programming our minds with the kind of information that will set us free.
The swift wind of compromise is a lot more devastating than the sudden jolt of misfortune.
We are all faced with a series of great opportunities brilliantly disguised as impossible situations.
When I think of vision, I have in mind the ability to see above and beyond the majority.
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, the education, the money, than circumstances, than failure, 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 everyday 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% of how I
react to it. And so it is with you... we are in charge of our Attitudes.”
“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.”- Charles R.
