Your living is determined not so much by what life brings to you as by the attitude you bring to life; not so much by what happens to you as by the way your mind looks at what happens. ~John Homer Miller
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. ~Charles R. Swindoll
To love is to risk not being loved in return. To hope is to risk pain. To try is to risk failure, but risk must be taken because the greatest hazard in life is to risk nothing. ~Leo Buscaglia
Laugh as much as you breathe and love as long as you live. ~Anonymous
The difference between school and life? In school, you’re taught a lesson and then given a test. In life, you’re given a test that teaches you a lesson. ~Tom Bodett
Don’t ask what the world needs. Ask what makes you come alive, and go do it. Because what the world needs is people who have come alive. ~Howard Thurman
Only three things in life are certain birth, death and change. ~Arabic proverb
Every time you wake up ask yourself What good things am I going to do today? Remember that when the sun goes down at sunset it will take a part of your life with it. ~Native American proverb
Dream as if you’ll live forever, live as if you’ll die today. ~James Dean
“It’s funny how we set qualifications to the right person to love, when we know at the back of our heads the person whom we truly love will always be an exception.” – Ally McBeal
