ATTITUDE

[WYOAnne]

For you that feel like you have reached the end of your rope? Please, do not give up. A friend gave me a poem when I was first diagnosed in 1991. It is something now I try to live by...friends say it is my theme song. Google "Attitude poem" by Charles Swindoll. I think he is a pastor somewhere.

When I got THE call for my transplant, when I was being checked in, the nurse told me that I would do well. I had the right attitude. This whole process is very scary, but is easier if you can be positive. Read the poem, print it off.....you'll see what I mean.

I am doing very well after 18 years post transplant in Wyoming!

God bless and best of luck to all!

ATTITUDE

by: Charles Swindoll

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 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
