You Say Tomato, I Say Tomahto

#ThoughtHealing Quote For The Week: “The remarkable thing is we have a choice every day regarding the attitude we will embrace for that day. 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.” Charles Swindoll, Founder, Insight for Living

We all know that the three most important words in real estate are location, location, location. In learning to deal with change more effectively and without fear, the three most important words are attitude, attitude, attitude. You can change your perspective regarding any of the unforeseen, the expected, and the inevitable events that make up your life as well as how you feel about having to respond to the event. It’s your choice.

Take, for example, writing your own obituary rather than leaving that task for someone else to struggle with after you’re gone. You can approach your end-of-life preparations with dread. Or, you can see it as an opportunity to sing your own praises, to get your house in order, or to just know that you can do something as painful as thinking about your own or someone else’s mortality without being crushed by the knowledge.

You do have a choice regarding the attitude you will embrace for today. You cannot change the inevitable, the unexpected, or the unthinkable. But you CAN change how you deal with anything that might throw you off course or keep you from living the life that is in your best and highest interest.

Think about it!
