Attitude is Everything

Your success, failure or mediocrity for the coming year is largely dependent on your attitude. Your happiness or unhappiness has to do with your attitude.  Your ability to cope with problems, challenges and set backs will be in direct proportion to the attitude you have toward those challenges. I know these are strong statements, but I believe they are true.

One writer put it very simply when he wrote, “Attitude is everything.”   It is true in the home. The workplace.  The church family.  The neighborhood. In all of our relationships.  Attitude determines how we look at past challenges, how we feel about the present circumstances, and  how we view the destiny of the future.

To begin our year with some good attitude thoughts here are some of my favorite attitude quotes.  I hope you enjoy them!

Attitude is our mental and emotional response to the circumstances of life.”  —Robert Jeffress

“Life is like baseball; it’s 95% mental and the other half is physical.”  —Yogi Berra

“Things turn out the best for the people who make the best out of the way things turn out”  —Art Linkletter

You are today where your thoughts have brought you; you will be tomorrow where your thoughts take you.”  —James A. Allen

“It does not matter what happens to us, but our reaction to what happens to us is of vital importance.”  —Fred Mitchell

“It may not be your fault for being down, but its got to be your fault for not getting up.” —Steve Davis

“Nothing can stop the man with the right mental attitude from achieving his goal, nothing on earth can help the man with the wrong mental attitude”     —W.W. Ziege

    I have noticed my attitude improves when my obedience to God is my first priority (as, of course – it always should be).
