The Remarkable Thing





The remarkable thing
we have is 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.
Charles Swindoll
 

Adopting the right attitude
can convert a negative stress
into a positive one.

A Life of Gratitude

To speak gratitude is courteous and pleasant, to enact gratitude is generous and noble, but to live gratitude is to touch Heaven. Johannes A. Gaertner To live a life of gratitude is to open our eyes to the countless ways in which we are supported by the world around us. Such a life provides less space for our suffering because our attention is more balanced. We are more often occupied with noticing what we are given, thanking those who have helped us, and repaying the world in some concrete way for what we are receiving. Gregg Krech Explore This Website

What you need is to recognize the possibilities and challenges offered by the present moment, and to embrace them with courage, faith and hope.”   Thomas Merton Explore This Website
