I know I have posted this elsewhere before but I think its a great message to live and Hobby by:



It is important to keep a positive attitude even on rough days because for someone you are the one who can transform their lives.Start with being careful what you think.Your thoughts become your attitude.You attitude becomes your words.Your words become your actions.Your actions become your habits.Your habits become not only your destiny but help shape the destiny of those around you.
Truer words have never been spoken. Thanks for this.

The rest is all how you choose to present yourself. If my actions and words and habits conveyed 1/1000th of what I THOUGHT there would be some serious trouble.

Very nice post Vikki, always impressed by your positive vibe.

On the same theme, here's one on attitude that I found printed on the back of a business card years ago. I still keep that ragged card in my wallet to this day. Maybe others will find it as helpful as I have.

ATTITUDE:
The longer I live, the more I realize the impact of attitude on life. Attitude, to me, is more important than education, than money, than circumstances, than failures, than success, 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 embrace for that day. We cannot change our past...we cannot change the fact that people 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 attitude.
