COT:
ATTITUDE
“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 successes, than what other people think or say or do. It is more important than appearance, giftedness, or skill. It will make or break a company, a church, a school, a home. The remarkable thing is we have a choice every day regarding the attitude we will embrace for that day.
We cannot change our past. We cannot change the fact that people will act in a certain way. We cannot change the inevitable. The only thing we can do is play on the one string we have, and that is our attitude. I am convinced that life is 10% what happens to me and 90% how I react to it. And so it is with you.. we are in charge of our ATTITUDES. – CHARLES SWINDOLL

COT: Recap of some of the points discussed during Camp Runamuck (F3 Dad Camp). The key was three tenants of what the Q wanted to strive for leading his children to adulthood.
1. Faith (not just in words, but following His Will, not our own)
2. Integrity (not just honesty, but owning errors/failures & crediting effort of others above self)
3. Love (not only compassion, but the ability to experience ‘tough love’)
