Here's a quote from Charles Swindon I found and damn if it doesn't explain my feelings of what I am going through on a few levels! Check it out. Read it to yourself. Realize the power behind it and do something with it! Your outlook should change! Allright I'll quit preaching! lol So I quote:
"The longer I live, the more I realize the impact of attitude on life. Attitude 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 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 everyday 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."
That just kind of nails how I feel so far about my diagnosis of rectal cancer and my "attitude" in fighting the good fight. Whatever that means! I just don't feel like the disease defines me. Does that make sense? If this is my path I am going to walk it standing tall and pushing against the wind that comes at me. I don't think it's being strong or tough. It is just me being me because of my attitude!
