Can you control your attitude if you cannot control your fate?

Question

Can you control your attitude if you cannot control your fate?

Answer 1

Yes.  It's called maturity and self control.

Answer 2

I don't see how attitude can be compared to fate. And of course you can control your attitude, it's something that we show throughout our actions.

Answer 3

People say that all the time. It's not events themselves that harm you but just the way you choose to feel about it.

I would like to burn those people's homes to ground, roast their house pets on the smoldering embers and eat them in front of them,,, then I would say... You're choosing to feel bad about this. Snap out of it!

Answer 4

Mature people control their attitude regardless of what life throws at them, good or bad.  

Answer 5

you can. for example: you reserve a camping spot, you call before going there to make sure everything is fine since you recently hear about a fire nearby. They say everything is fine and then when you get there the road is blocked because the fire just move nearby the camp and so the whole camping trip is ruined along with all of the fun activities you plan to have. Now here is where the controlling attitude comes in. You have two options: to be very angry or to be thankful and happy that you are not those people in camp right now close to danger. You can control attitude by choosing to look the bright side or dark side of things. btw that happened to me and i chose to be reallllly angry
