Take Control of the 90%


Don’t let the 10% of your life’s events control you. You have the 90% within you to make your life yours, and make it the most positive experience ever.  

August’s Awakening, Day 20

The longer I live the more I realize the impact of attitude on life. Attitude to me is more important than the past, than education, than money, than circumstances, than failures, than success, than what others think, or say, or do. I am convinced that life is 10% what happens to me and 90% how I react to it.

 —Chuck Swindoll 

The way you see life will largely determine what you get out of it.

 —Zig Ziglar 

 

Therefore, holy brothers and sisters, who share in the heavenly calling, fix your thoughts on Jesus, whom we acknowledge as our apostle and high priest. Hebrews 3:1 NIV  

 

Finally, brothers and sisters, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable—if anything is excellent or praiseworthy—think about such things. Philippians 4:8 NIV

 

            Are you letting life’s 10% control your thoughts, attitude, words and deeds? Or are you taking control of the 90% and making your life alive and worth living for the very next breath? A constant positive outlook is not something that automatically comes. A positive attitude and demeanor must be worked at and consciously kept in control and aligned with the mind of Christ Jesus. You must willingly and concertedly make every effort to think on things true, noble, right, pure, lovely, admirable, excellent, and praiseworthy. If a thought doesn’t fall within these categories, then the thought is best rejected and effort made to refrain from thinking that again. You will need the help of the Holy Spirit to assist you and that’s why He’s with you. Take full advantage of all He has to offer in guidance and relief from the stress of the day. Make Him your constant confidant and take every thought captive to be obedient to the mind of Christ. You control your life’s destiny, take full charge and make it the best.
