"The greatest discovery of my generation is that a human being can alter his life by altering his attitude of mind."

Ellen Lowrie Black

"Our lives are not determined by what happens to us, but by how we react to what happens.  Not by what life brings to us, but by the attitude we bring to life.  A positive attitude causes a chain reaction of positive thoughts, events, and outcomes.  It is a catalyst...a spark that creates extraordinary results."
