"Anything under God's control is never out of control."

I'm obsessed with Charles R. Swindoll (title quote is his).

The first day that I started work, I noticed a quote posted on one of our many ice cream freezers. It was a quote by Mr. Swindoll about Attitude - it literally inspired me so much that I rushed home to learn more about this man. It's been about three weeks of reading everything that I can on the Internet and reading the quote below daily. I've tried to consistently apply this quote in my daily life and I've found that it's hard, but absolutely magnificent. I hope you are as inspired as I am by it. Good reading and great day!

"The longer I love, 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 circumstances, 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 church....a home. 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 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% how I react to it. And so it is with you...we are in charge of our attitudes."

And to end, I will use another amazing quote by Mr. Swindoll
"We are all faced with a series of great opportunities brilliantly disguised as impossible situations."
— Charles R. Swindoll
