Think a minute! Do you know? There's a choice we make many times everyday over and over again. And it's the choice the choice that decides so much about our life. Someone said: "Life is 10% what happens to us and 90% how we choose to react to it." And the attitude we choose to have everyday is what makes the difference between our being happy and successful or not. You know, our attitude is more important that what's happened in our past. It's more important than our education, or the kind of family we come from. Because unfair, bad things happen to all of us! Like sickness, unfortunate bad accidents, problems at work, in our marriage and family, money problems.



I know a fine 45-year-old gentleman who suddenly discovered he was gonna die in a short time from a serious sickness that has no cure. At first he was so upset, depressed and angry, feeling he didn't deserve to get this terrible disease. But then he realized that he really had only 2 choices.



Number 1: He could live the rest of his short life complaining and making life miserable for himself and his family. And then die in an angry, bitter person full of hate. Or number 2: He could choose to enjoy and be thankful for the remaining health and strength he still had, and make the most of each day by loving and helping his wife and kids. So when he died he would know he had won and beaten this disease by not letting it ruin his heart and character. So he chose for the remaining years of his life to be happy and make his family happy.



You know, there are some tings in life we simply cannot change or control, like certain disease, laws, the weather, other drivers on the road. We cannot control other people's attitude toward us, but we can always control our own attitude! And friend, your attitude everyday makes all the difference in the world to your life. So no matter how bad things get, you still can choose to either let it make you bitter, or let it make you better. Just think a minute...
