I have learned to be content
whatever the circumstances.
—Philippians 4:11
One of the most significant decisions you make each day is your choice of attitude.
Your attitude is more important than where you live, what you drive, or your bank balance. More important than your pedigree, your education, or your position. More important than the things you can’t control: the weather, the stock market, or what other people say and do.
Austrian neurologist and psychiatrist Viktor Frankl—who was incarcerated in four concentration camps, including the death camp of Auschwitz—said, “Everything can be taken from a man but one thing: the last of human freedoms—to choose one’s attitude in any given set of circumstances.”
Your attitude moves you forward or holds you back. It determines whether you live in a climate of anger or joy, defeat or victory, fear or faith.
Your attitude is your choice.
