Any fact facing us is not as important as our attitude toward it, for that determines our success or failure. – Norman Vincent Peale

Any fact facing us is not as important as our attitude toward it, for that determines our success or failure.

Any fact facing us is not as important as our attitude toward it, for that determines our success or failure. The way you think about a fact may defeat you before you ever do anything about it. You are overcome by the fact because you think you are.

Attitudes are more important than facts.” That is worth repeating until its truth grips you.

Attitude is more important than the past, than education, than money, than circumstances, than what people do or say. It is more important than appearance, giftedness, or skill.

Attitude is the foundation to success. The greater the success, the stronger the foundation.

Las actitudes son más importantes que los hechos. Ningún hecho, entre todos los que enfrentamos, por arduo o irremediable que parezca, es tan importante como nuestra actitud hacia él. Tu forma de concebir un hecho puede arruinarte antes siquiera de que hagas nada al respecto. Así, podrías permitir que un suceso te abrueme incluso antes de enfrentarlo. Por otro lado, un patrón de pensamiento seguro y optimista puede modificar o trascender ese hecho por completo.

Your attitude is either the lock on or key to your door of success.

Attitude is a little thing that makes a big difference.

Crucial for man is his attitude toward failure: whether it remains hidden from him and overwhelms him only objectively at the end or whether he perceives it unobscured as the constant limit of his existence; whether he snatches at fantastic solutions and consolations or faces it honestly, in silence before the unfathomable. The way in which man approaches his failure determines what he will become.

Each of us has a particular way of looking at the world, of interpreting events and the actions of people around us. This is our attitude, and it determines much of what happens to us in life. If our attitude is essentially fearful, we see the negative in every circumstance. We stop ourselves from taking chances. We blame others for mistakes and fail to learn from them. If we feel hostile or suspicious, we make others feel such emotions in our presence. We sabotage our career and relationships by unconsciously creating the circumstances we fear the most. The human attitude, however, is malleable. By making our attitude more positive, open, and tolerant of other people, we can spark a different dynamic—we can learn from adversity, create opportunities out of nothing, and draw people to us. We must explore the limits of our willpower and how far it can take us.

Not aptitude....attitude is the criterion for success.

Your living is determined not so much by what life brings to you as by the attitude you bring to life; not so much by what happens to you as by the way your mind looks at what happens.

One’s attitude is what takes one far.
