I am a firm believer in 'negative thinking' when used correctly. We need to be AWARE of negatives so that we can steer clear of them. A golfer needs to know where the bunkers and sand traps are - but he doesn't think continuously about the bunker - where he doesn't want to go. His mind glances at the bunker, but he DWELLS upon the green.

Your automatic guidance system cannot guide you when you're stalled, “standing still”.

Your nervous system can't tell real failure from imagined failure.

Fully 95 percent of our behavior, feeling, and response is habitual.

Live in the present. The past is gone; the future is unknown - but the present is real, and your opportunities are now.

People who say that life is not worthwhile are really saying that they themselves have no personal goals which are worthwhile. Prescription: Get yourself a goal worth working for. Better still, get yourself a project. Decide what you want out of a situation. Always have something ahead of you to “look forward to” — to work for and hope for.

You can do only one thing at a time. I simply tackle one problem and concentrate all efforts on what I am doing at the moment.
