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

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.
Thomas Dreier
If we knew the true power of belief and positive thinking,
we would never have a negative thought.

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.

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.

How to Build Self-Esteem and Be Confident |

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.

The only
place where your dream becomes impossible is in your own thinking.
Robert H Schuller |

A
lot of things are inherent in life--change, birth, death, aging,
illness, accidents,
calamities, and losses of all kinds--but these events don't have
to be the cause
of ongoing suffering. Yes, these events cause grief and sadness,
but grief and
sadness pass, like everything else, and are replaced with other
experiences.
The ego, however, clings to negative thoughts and feelings and, as
a result,
magnifies, intensifies, and sustains those emotions while the ego
overlooks the
subtle feelings of joy, gratitude, excitement, adventure, love,
and peace that
come from Essence. If we dwelt on these positive states as much as
we generally
dwell on our negative thoughts and painful emotions, our lives
would be transformed.

What I am
suggesting is that each of us turn from the negativism that
permeates our society and look for the remarkable good among those
with whom we associate, that we speak of one another’s virtues
more
than we speak of one another’s faults, that optimism replace
pessimism,
that our faith exceed our fears. When I was a young man and was
prone
to speak critically, my father would say: “Cynics do not
contribute,
skeptics do not create, doubters do not achieve."
Gordon B. Hinckley |

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.

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.

A positive attitude
is most easily arrived at through a deliberate and rational
analysis of what’s required to manifest unwavering positive
thought patterns.
First, reflect on the actual, present condition of your mind. In
other words,
is the mind positive or not? We’ve all met individuals who
perceive themselves
as positive people but don’t appear as such. Since the mind is
both invisible
and intangible, it’s therefore easier to see the accurate
characteristics of the
mind through a person’s words, deeds, and posture.
For example, if we say, “It’s absolutely freezing today!
I’ll probably catch a
cold before the end of the day!” then our words expose a
negative attitude.
But if we say, “The temperature is very cold” (a simple
statement of fact),
then our expressions, and therefore attitude, are not negative.
Sustaining an
alert state in which self-awareness becomes possible gives us a
chance to
discover the origins of negativity. In doing so, we also have an
opportunity to
arrive at a state of positiveness, so that our words and deeds are
also positive,
making others feel comfortable, cheerful, and inspired.
H.E. Davey

If we will imagine the
thing we want and do our part to “be in the right

be, or attain.

Then think tall--think big, elevated thoughts. Then go out
and act tall. Do that and joy will flow to you.

My thoughts are like seeds in the rich soil
of my mind. As I think about
abundance, I am sowing seeds
that will produce it. I focus on positive
thoughts and hold
them in prayer, fully expecting good outcomes. If
thoughts of fear or lack pop up, I release them just as I
would remove
weeds from my garden. I refocus on the good
that is here now,
and I know there is more to come.

You
want a better position than you now have in business, a
better and fuller
place in life. All right; think of
that better place and you in it as already existing.
Form the mental image. Keep on thinking of that
higher position, keep the image
constantly before you,
and--no, you will not suddenly be transported into the
higher job, but you will find that you are preparing
yourself to occupy the better
position in life--your body,
your energy, your understanding, your heart will all grow
up to the job--and when you are ready, after hard work,
after perhaps years
of preparation, you will get the job
and the higher place in life.

Believe
in the best, think your best, study your best, have a goal
for your best, never be satisfied with less than your best, try

As
you practice thinking in positive ways, you may find that your
life becomes smoother and exhibits less tension and anger.
You
can begin to manage your feelings, instead of allowing outer
circumstances to be a controlling factor. You can begin at
any
time to shift your thinking and react positively, while still
releasing negative thoughts.
Pleasant, more productive days can result from your new approach
to positive thinking. Because your subconscious mind is a
reservoir for your memories, you can get quick feedback on
whatever situation may be occurring. Your subconscious mind
remembers past events and records what your thinking and
feeling responses were at that time. When a similar thing
happens
today, your mind sends a remembered message, which could be
a message of anger, resentment, or frustration. You have the
ability to give your mind new messages as you choose to react
emotionally or to meet the situation with poised
and balanced thinking.

While holding
positive thoughts and emotions is advantageous, positive
thinking itself is not "Hallmark Card thinking."
It's really an ongoing
awareness that all truly is well with the world, with life, and
with oneself.
It's also a commitment not to mindlessly pass on fears but to
bring
positive energy, images, ideas, and feelings into the lives of
others,
to help them attune to the wellness at the heart of the world.

People
tend to be generous when sharing their nonsense, fear, and
ignorance.
And while they seem quite eager to feed you their negativity,
please remember
that sometimes the diet we need to be on is a spiritual and
emotional one. Be
cautious with what you feed your mind and soul. Fuel
yourself with positivity
and let that fuel propel you into positive action.

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 obstacles in your imagination.

We must train the mind to reject the brood of despondent, resentful,
fearful and prejudiced thoughts which approach it, and to invite and
entertain cheerful, broad and wholesome thoughts instead, just as we
overcome false tones and cultivate musical ones in educating the voice
for singing. When we once realize that by driving away pessimistic,
angry and bitter thoughts we drive away sickness and misfortune to
a great extent, and that by seeking the kinder and happier frame of mind
we seek at the same time success and health and good luck, we will
find a new impetus in the control of our mental forces.
