Attitudes

"Either we own our attitude; or our attitude owns us"
Everything begins and ends with our attitude.
It can lift us up to great heights or pull us down to the depths of failure.
It can energize us to do and say all the right things at the right time, or it can undermine our motivation and cause us to sabotage our own best laid plans.

In fact, it is the foundation for everything that happens - to us, - around us, or - within us.

Attitude ... The key ingredient for success.

Adversity

In everyone's life there comes a time of ultimate challenge;
- a time when all our resources are tested.
- a time when life seems unfair
- a time when our faith, our values, our patience, our compassion and our ability to persist are pushed to the limit and beyond.

Adversity is part of everyone's life.
The question is how do we handle it.

Some have used such test and hardships as opportunity for growth; while others have turned away and allowed these experiences to destroy their hopes.
