If you want to dismiss a negative thought, the only way to do so is to think of something positive and constructive.

a small spark can start a great fire

Whatever you experience in your life is really but the outpicturing of your own thoughts and beliefs. Now, you can change these thoughts and beliefs, and then the outer picture must change too. The outer picture cannot change until you change your thought.

Supply yourself with a mental equivalent, and the thing must come to you.

The present moment is never intolerable. It is always what is coming in five minutes or five days that makes people despair. The Law of Life is to live in the present, and this applies to both time and place. Keep your attention to the present moment, and in the place where your body is now. Do a fair day's work, and then stop. Overwork is not productive in the long run.

You can never solve a problem on the same level as the problem.

Life is a state of consciousness.
