- ATTITUDE -
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 failure, than success, 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 ... or a school. The remarkable thing is we have a choice every day regarding the attitude we 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 do 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.

Last week we looked at what Vince Lombardi had to say about your inner dialogue and how your attitude changes how you think about yourself. Notice what is being said about attitude here. Attitude is one of the most important things to us because there is always a chain reaction that takes place as a result of your attitude. The cool thing is that you are in charge of your attitude! Similar principles apply to Jiu-Jitsu. Jiu-Jitsu is not so much about what happens but much more about how you react to things. You can get frustrated and quit or you can keep trying. The decision is yours, what kind of attitude will you have today?
