Negative
thinking will always lead to failure
and nervous
prostration; but positive faith--
positive thinking--will
lead you
towards happy, healthy, and abundant living.

Every
morning pull yourself up to your full height and stand tall.
Then think tall--think big, elevated thoughts. Then go out
and act tall. Do that and joy will flow to you.

Although many
of us probably didn't get a thorough education in the
value
of a positive attitude, we can teach ourselves.
Simply by making
a decision
to look for the good, happy, and beautiful in all things and
all
people, you
will have completed the first and most important step
in learning
to accentuate the positive.

The life each of us lives is the life
within
the limits of our own thinking.
To have
life
more abundant, we must think in
limitless terms of
abundance.

The happiness of your life depends upon the
quality of
your thoughts. . . take care that you entertain
no notions
unsuitable to virtue and reasonable nature.
Marcus Aurelius

I
am optimistic and confident in all that I do. I affirm
only
the best
for myself and others. I am the creator of
my life and my
world. I meet
daily challenges gracefully
and with complete confidence. I
fill my mind
with positive, nurturing, and healing thoughts.

Positive thinking is not always the easiest
course of action when confronting
difficulties. If, however, we can remain focused on keeping hope strong
and
not succumbing to negative influences, we will meet with success
in dealing with anything life may throw in our path.

I believe that
if you think about disaster, you will get it.
Brood about death and you will hasten your demise. Think
positively and masterfully with confidence and faith, and
life becomes more secure, more fraught with action, richer
in achievement and experience. This is the sure way to win
victories over inner defeat. It is the way a humble person
meets life or death.
Eddie Rickenbacker |

Positive thinking is
a constant attention
to the
details that
make up
an average
day—with the
knowledge that how
you live this
moment
may reflect on the
rest of your life.

| I
know that my thoughts help create my experiences.
Thinking positive thoughts about myself helps me to do and
be my best always.
The
same is true of my relationships. If I am thinking
the best about my family and friends, I bring the best to
my relationships with them.
The
very best thoughts I can think are God-centered thoughts
of love, acceptance, and forgiveness. So I don't think
less of friends and loved ones than what is true about
them: They are children of God who deserve to be
thought of with true, honorable, just, and positive
thoughts.
My
loving, patient thoughts create loving, long-lasting
relationships.

There
is a deep tendency in human nature to become
precisely what we imagine or picture ourselves to be.
We tend to equate with our own self-appraisal of either
depreciation or appreciation. We ourselves determine
either self-limitation or unlimited growth potential. . . .
The
positive thinkers constantly send out positive thoughts, together
with vital mental images of hope, optimism, and creativity.
They
therefore activate the world around them positively and strongly
tend to draw back to themselves positive results. This is a
basic law of mind action. . . . The positive principle is based on
the fact that there is always an answer, a right answer, and that
positive thinking through a sound intellectual process
can always produce that answer.

All
that we do outwardly is but the expression
and completion of our inward thought. To work
effectively, we must think clearly;
to act nobly, we must think nobly.
William Ellery

You cannot
escape the results of your thoughts. . . . Whatever
your present environment may be, you will fall, remain, or rise
with your thoughts, your vision, your ideal. You will become
as small as your controlling desire, as great as your dominant
aspiration.
James

Our
best friend and our worst enemies are our thoughts.
A thought can do us more good than a doctor or a banker
or a faithful friend. It can also
do us more harm than a brick.
