Any fact facing us, however difficult, even seemingly hopeless, is not so important as our attitude toward that fact. How you think about a fact may defeat you before you ever do anything about it. You may permit a fact to overwhelm you mentally before you deal with it actually. On the other hand, a confident and optimistic thought pattern can overcome or modify the fact altogether.

If you paint in your mind a picture of bright and happy expectations, you put yourself into a condition conducive to your goal.

People become really quite remarkable when they start thinking that they can do things. When they believe in themselves they have the first secret of success.

We tend to get what we expect.

You must never conclude, even though everything goes wrong, that you cannot succeed. Even at the worst there is a way out, a hidden secret that can turn failure into success and despair into happiness. No situation is so dark that there is not a ray of light

Avoid arguments, but whenever a negative attitude is expressed, counter with a positive and optimistic opinion.

Throw your heart over the fence and the rest will follow.
