God In His Answers To Prayer Often Says "yes." Sometimes He Says "wait." Often He Says "no." In Any Case, His Will Is Done, And True Faith Is To Believe That What Happened Has Happened For The Best.

Positive Thinking

Expecting The Best Means That You Put Your Whole Heart (i.e. The Central Essence Of Your Personality) Into What You Want To Accomplish. People Are Defeated In Life Not Because Of Lack Of Ability, But For Lack Of Wholeheartedness. They Do Not Wholeheartedly Expect To Succeed. Their Heart Isn't In It, Which Is To Say, They Themselves Are Not Fully Given.

A War Fitness Conference Some Time Ago Declared That The Highest Form Of Recreation Is To Go To Church. The Word Recreation Should Be Written Re-creation. More Real Rest Can Be Gained From An Hour And A Quarter Of Worship Under These Circumstances Than By Eighteen Holes Of Golf.

It's Always Too Early To Quit.

One Way To Become Enthusiastic Is To Look For The Plus Sign. To Make Progress In Any Difficult Situation, You Have To Start With What's Right About It And Build On That

Be An All-out, Not A Hold-out.

Never React Emotionally To What Happens But Always Look For And Find In Every Circumstance The Good That's Surely Present There.

Positive Energy

Though One May Acquire Much In Wealth, Fame, Or Honor, The Real Joy Of Life Does Not Lie There But, Rather, In Keeping The Romance Of Living Going. Nothing Gives Such Complete And Profound Happiness As The Perpetually Fresh Wonder And Mystery Of Exciting Life.

You Are Greater Than Anything That Can Happen To You. In A Big And Terrifying Crisis, People Find Within Themselves A Power And A Strength And Also A Wisdom They Had No Idea They Possessed.

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

By Acting As You Wish Yourself To Be, In Due Course You Will Become As You Act.

Power Of Positive Thinking

Your Enthusiasm Will Be Infectious, Stimulating And Attractive To Others. They Will Love You For It They Will Go For You And With You

Enthusiasm For Life

Practice Loving People. It Is True That This Requires Effort And Continued Practice, For Some Are Not Very Lovable, Or So It Seems - With Emphasis On Seems. Every Person Has Lovable Qualities When You Really Learn To Know Him.

When We Start Focusing On Things We Can Do And Don't Think So Much About The Things We Can't Do, Things Really Start To Happen

America Has Become So Tense And Nervous It Has Been Years Since I Have Seen Anyone Sleep In Church - And That Is A Sad Situation.

In Adversity Keep Motivated, For Often The Best Comes From Difficulty.

A Positive Thinker Does Not Refuse To Recognize The Negative; He Refuses To Dwell On It.

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.

Believe In Yourself! Have Faith In Your Abilities! Without A Humble But Reasonable Confidence In Your Own Powers You Cannot Be Successful Or Happy.

How You Think About A Problem Is More Important Than The Problem Itself. So Always Think Positively.

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.

The Right Kind Of Fear Will Keep Us From Doing Wrong. The Rough Is Only Mental - It Is Rough Only Because Your Think It Is.

Expect Great Things, And Great Things Will Come.

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

Make Sure You Pay Attention To What's Right With Your Life, Not Just What's Wrong.

Positive Thinking

The World In Which You Live Is Not Primarily Determined By Outward Conditions And Circumstances But By The Thoughts That Habitually Occupy Your Mind.

Nothing Of Great Value In This Life Comes Easily.

A Very Real Barrier To Faith Is This Feeling Of Self-sufficiency, This Unrealistic Idea That One Can Accomplish Everything By His Or Her Own Self. Some People Have The Conviction They Must Do It All Alone. They Have No Faith In Others. . . They Are Convinced That There Is No One Able To Do The Job As Well As Themselves. They Refuse To Admit That They May Need The Help Of Friends, Doctor, Minister, Or Even God.

Never Let Any Mistake Cause You To Stop Believing In Yourself. Learn From It And Go On.

Don't Bother. The Glass Is Half-empty.

When You Are Afraid, Do The Thing You Are Afraid Of And Soon You Will Lose Your Fear Of It.

Getting People To Like You Is Merely The Other Side Of Liking Them.

The Individual Who Knows The Score About Life Sees Difficulties As Opportunities

And If The Mind Thinks With A Believing Attitude One Can Do Amazing Things.

Plant Seeds Of Expectation In Your Mind; Cultivate Thoughts That Anticipate Achievement. Believe In Yourself As Being Capable Of Overcoming All Obstacles And Weaknesses.

Empty Pockets Never Held Anyone Back. Only Empty Heads And Empty Hearts Can Do That.

The Positive Thinker, On The Contrary, Constantly Sends Out Positive Thoughts, Together With Vital Mental Images Of Hope, Optimism And Creativity. He Therefore Activates The World Around Him Positively And Strongly Tends To Draw Back To Himself Positive Results. This, Too, Is A Basic Law Of Mind Action.

Cut The "im" Out Of Impossible, Leading That Dynamic Word Standing Out Free And Clear-possible.

Formulate And Stamp Indelibly On Your Mind A Mental Picture Of Yourself As Succeeding. Hold This Picture Tenaciously. Never Permit It To Fade. Your Mind Will Seek To Develop The Picture... Do Not Build Up Obstacles In Your Imagination.

Congratulations

Make A True Estimate Of Your Own Ability, Then Raise It Ten Per Cent.

Fear Is Strong, But Faith Is Stronger Yet.

Nothing Of Great Value In This Life Comes Easily. The Things Of Highest Value Sometimes Come Hard. The Gold That Has The Greatest Value Lies Deepest In The Earth, As Do The Diamonds.

The Mind, Properly Controlled, Can Do Just About Everything. You Can Think Your Way Through Adversity, You Can Think Your Way Through Problems. It Is A Superpowerful Instrument Which So Few Use To Maximum. And If The Mind Thinks With A Believing Attitude One Can Do Amazing Things.

Medication Is Of Course Important But Do Not Conclude That A Pill Dissolving In Your Stomach Is Necessarily More Powerful Than A Healing Thought In Your Mind.

If You Visualize A Failure, You Tend To Create The Conditions That Produce Failure. Visualize-believe-and Thank God In Advance.

Today Any Successful And Competent Businessman Will Employ The Latest And Best-tested Methods In Production, Distribution, And Administration. Many Are Discovering That One Of The Greatest Of All Efficiency Methods Is Prayer Power.

The Power Of The Plus Factor Is Potential But It Is Not Self-activating. It Is Latent In Human Beings And Will Remain Latent Until It Is Activated.

Imagination Is The True Magic Carpet.

Only The Person Who Risks Is Truly Free. A Man's Conquest Of Himself Dwarfs The Conquest Of Mt. Everest.

You Will Soon Break The Bow If You Keep It Always Stretched.

Constantly Reemphasize To Yourself The Great Fact That God Built Potential Strength Into Your Nature. By Affirming It And Practicing It, This Basic Strength Will Toughen Up As Muscles Do.

The One Person Who Most Blocks You From A Full, Happy, And Successful Life Is You. They Are Therefore Wise Who Make Themselves An Asset. We Can Be Our Own Worst Enemies Or Best Friends. We Can Be A Source Of Trouble Or A Cure For Trouble. So If You Feel Empty, As Many Do, Start By Getting Free From Yourself As A First Stop To Vibrant Living.

Thoughts And Words Form Your Mental Image. And Since We Become What We Picture Be Sure Your Thoughts And Words Express Prosperity And Blessing Rather Than Poverty And Defeat.

The One Person Who Most Blocks You From A Full, Happy, And Successful Life Is You.

Go Out Of Your Way To Talk Optimistically About Everything.

One Person Can Make A Difference. You Don't Have To Be A Big Shot. You Don't Have To Have A Lot Of Influence. You Just Have To Have Faith In Your Power To Change Things.

Making A Difference

The Really Happy People Are Those Who Have Broken The Chains Of Procrastination, Those Who Find Satisfaction In Doing The Job At Hand. They're Full Of Eagerness, Zest, Productivity. You Can Be, Too.

Procrastination

Remember: What You Think You Will Become - Good Or Bad, Weak Or Strong, Defeated Or Victorious.

Always Remember That Problems Contain Values That Have Improvement Potential.

It Is Of Practical Value To Learn To Like Yourself. Since You Must Spend So Much Time With Yourself You Might As Well Get Some Satisfaction Out Of The Relationship.

Cultivate Will Power, That Massive Creative Force That God The Creator Built Into You. Do Not Let It Remain Flabby But Strengthen It By Use And Exercise.

Inspirational Life

Life Is Not All Fun And Easy Going. Far From It; There Are Many Rough Times. But, Sadly, We Too Often Let The Hard Times Dull Our Enthusiasm. And That Is Dangerous, If Not Fatal, To Our Lives.

Know What You Want And Believe That You Can Have It.

The Positive Thinker Is A Hard-headed, Tough-minded, And Factual Realist. He Sees All The Difficulties Clearly... Which Is More Than Can Be Said For The Average Negative Thinker. But He Sees More Than Difficulties - He Tries To See The Solutions Of Those Difficulties.

Forget The Mistakes Of The Past And Press On To The Greater Achievements Of The Future. Give Everyone A Smile. Spend So Much Time Improving Yourself That You Have No Time Left To Criticize Others. Be Too Big For Worry And Too Noble For Anger.

A Clean Mind Always Delivers Power.

I Sometimes Think We Ought To Bring A Bill Before Congress Changing Our National Symbol From The Eagle To The Buffalo, Because We Are More Like The Buffalo Than The Eagle. The Eagle Is A Powerful Bird. It Flies Alone. It Rises Up Into The Sky With Authority. It Is Master Of All It Surveys. The Eagle Is An Individualist And Was Selected From Among The Rest Of The Birds To Be Our Symbol. But The Buffalo Was Never Alone. It Always Ran In A Herd With Other Buffaloes. And, Friends, I Call Your Attention That The Buffaloes Are Gone From The Open Range, But The Eagles Are Still Soaring.

Believe That All The Resources You Need Are In Your Mind. That Is A Formula That Really Works.

The Only People Who Don't Have Problems Are In A Cemetery.

Have Absolutely No Sense Of Guilt About Being Happy And Successful If You Operate Honestly And With A Sense Of Social Responsibility.

Inspirational Life

Americans Are So Tense And Keyed Up That It Is Impossible Even To Put Them To Sleep With A Sermon.

Never Use The Word “impossible” Seriously Again. Toss It Into The Verbal Wastebucket.

The How Thinker Gets Problems Solved Effectively Because He Wastes No Time With Futile Ifs But Goes Right To Work On The Creative How.

Before You Go To Sleep, Run Over Your Personal World Mentally And Thank God For Everyone And Everything.

Practice Excited Thinking Until You Become Excited And Exciting.

One Of The Simplest Things About All Facts Of Life Is That To Get Where You Want To Go, You Must Keep On Keeping On.

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

Good Intentions Are No Substitute For Obedience.

Good Intentions

The Whole Trend And Quality Of Anyone's Life Is Determined In The Long Run By The Choices That Are Made.

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."

Let Go And Let God. Let Him Take Over Your Life And Run It. He Knows How.
