Attitude

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, than education, than money, than circumtances, than failures, 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 place of worship, our relationship with others, and even our homes. The remarkable thing is we have a choice every day regarding the attitude we will 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. But we can choose our attitude. We can choose to see the world with negativity, focusing on shortcomings, and limitations, or we can choose to embrace the light and blessings that Allah has bestowed upon us.
