Your Attitude Determines Your Destiny
Your attitude is the basic lens or frame through which you see yourself, the world, and other people. You can have a positive attitude or a negative one, and you’ll see the world accordingly.
A very wise man once said, “Your eye is a lamp that provides light for your body. When your eye is good, your whole body is filled with light. But when your eye is bad, your whole body is filled with darkness. And if the light you think you have is actually darkness, how deep that darkness is!”1 In other words, the way you look at things (your “eye”) will shape the course of your life for better or worse.
