More From Norman Vincent Peale

Go Out Of Your Way To Talk Optimistically About Everything.

The Mind Quickly Responds To Teaching And Discipline. You Can Make The Mind Give You Back Anything You Want.

Any Fact Facing Us, However Difficult, Even Seemingly Hopeless, Is Not So Important As Our Attitude Toward That Fact. How You Think About A Fact May Defeat You Before You Ever Do Anything About It. You May Permit A Fact To Overwhelm You Mentally Before You Deal With It Actually. On The Other Hand, A Confident And Optimistic Thought Pattern Can Overcome Or Modify The Fact Altogether.

Hold An Image Of The Life You Want, And That Image Will Become Fact.

If There Is No Fun In It, Something Is Wrong With All You Are Doing.

No Sin Is Committed Merely Because A Thought Enters The Mind, Provided It Is Not Made Welcome. Perhaps We May Use The Figure That The Thought First Passes Into An Anteroom, Where It Stands Before The Mind Acting As A Judge. No Matter How Sordid Or Evil, It Has Not Touched The Personality With Its Infamy Nor In Any Way Laid Guilt Upon The Soul Unless And Until The Mind Acting As Judge Admits It With A Welcome. If The Mind Decides Against It And Dismisses It, The Personality Is Not Only Unsullied But Is, On The Contrary, By This Act Of Rejection Stimulated And Strengthened In Moral Power.

No Matter How Dark Things Become, Someone Is Always With You - And That Someone Is God. He Helps By Giving You Peace And A Positive Mental Attitude.

The Positive Thinker, On The Contrary, Constantly Sends Out Positive Thoughts, Together With Vital Mental Images Of Hope, Optimism And Creativity.

A Peaceful Mind Generates Power.

Almighty God Freely Bestows The Good Things In This World In Proportion To A Person's Mental Readiness To Receive.

Stand Up To Your Obstacles And Do Something About Them. You Will Find That They Haven't Half The Strength You Think They Have.

The Word Resentment Means To Re-feel...to Feel Again. Someone Wrongs Or Wounds You; In Resenting It, You Re-feel The Injury. And You Re-hurt Yourself. The Hebrew Talmud Says That A Person Who Bears A Grudge Is "like One Who, Having Cut One Hand While Handling A Knife, Avenges Himself By Stabbing The Other Hand."

Joy Increases As You Give It, And Diminishes As You Try To Keep It For Yourself.

People Who Have The Courage To Be Individuals Can Usually Think Things Through On Their Own And Make Sound Decisions. They Don't Say, "what Will People Think?" They Say, "what's The Best Way To Handle This?" The Amazing Fact Is That God Created Each One Of Us As A Separate, Unique Person Amid Billions Of Other Separate, Unique Individuals. So The Best Way To Achieve Real Fulfillment Is To Be Yourself.

When You Affirm Big, Believe Big And Pray Big, Big Things Happen.

Go Forward Confidently, Energetically Attacking Problems, Expecting Favorable Outcomes.

Do Not Build Up Obstacles In Your Imagination. Difficulties Must Be Studied And Dealt With, But They Must Not Be Magnfiied By Fear

Believe In Yourself! Have Faith In Your Abilities. Without A Humble But Reasonable Confidence In Your Own Powers You Cannot Be Successful Or Happy. But With Self-confidence You Can Succeed. A Sense Of Inferiority And Inadequacy Interferes With The Attainment Of Your Hopes, But Self-confidence Leads To Self-realization And Successful Achievement.

Eliminate The Word "impossible" From Your Conversation, Drop It From Your Thoughts, Erase It From Your Attitudes. Stop Rationalizing It. Cease Excusing It. Substitute For It That Bright And Shining Word...possible."

I Was Brought Up On The Romance Of American Achievement. No Matter Where You Start, If You Work Hard And If You Think Positively And If You Dream Dreams And If You Have Good Character, You Can Lift The Status Of Yourself, Your Family, Your Friends And Everyone Around You. This Doesn't Mean That Your Object In Life Is To Become Rich Or Famous. Just Do The Best You Can With Yourself. I Think That Almighty God Has Put That Into Us And I'm Going To Do The Best I Can With Myself. That's What I Call The Romance Of Achievement. Achievement Means To Be What, By The Grace Of God, You Can Be.

Any Fact Facing Us Is Not As Important As Our Attitude Toward It, For That Determines Our Success Or Failure. The Way You Think About A Fact May Defeat You Before You Ever Do Anything About It. You Are Overcome By The Fact Because You Think You Are.
