Words of Wisdom.......

The last few days I have been reflecting upon life and being happy. What makes some people so happy and others not. Poor people wish they were rich, but all rich people don't seem to overwhelming happy either. I found this on an old friends' blog and was convinced that this is the answer. As cheesy as it sounds, life really is as good as we make it. Though my life is totally crazy, I wouldn't have it any other way!

"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 ATTITUDES."
