Quote of the Day: Albert Schweitzer

by Mar 15, 2018

The greatest discovery of any generation is that human beings can alter their lives by altering the attitudes of their minds.
-Albert Schweitzer
I want to qualify this by saying that changing your attitude or thought pattern may not “fix” everything. No matter how positive we can be, there are challenges that are out of our control and that aren’t fair. That being said, framing your thinking to be generally positive and solution-driven will only help you to see things more clearly and move towards your goals.
