This may shock you, but I believe the single most significant decision I can make on a day-to-day basis is my choice of attitude. It is more important than my past, my education, my bankroll, my successes or failures, fame or pain, what other people think of me or say about me, my circumstances, or my position. Attitude is that "single string" that keeps me going or cripples my progress. It alone fuels my fire or assaults my hope. When my attitudes are right, there's no barrier to high, no valley too deep, no dream too extreme, no challenge to great for me.
~Charles R. Swindoll

~I AM...~
I was regretting the past and fearing the future
when suddenly my Lord was speaking.
'My name is I Am'
He paused, I waited.
He continued,
'When you live in the past with its mistakes and regrets, it is hard.
I am not there.
My name is NOT I WAS.
When you live in the future, with its problems and fears, it's hard.
I am not there. My name is NOT I WILL BE.
When you live in this moment, it is NOT hard.
I AM HERE.
MY NAME IS 'I AM'.
~Author Unknown
