There is a basic law that like attracts like. Negative thinking definitely attracts negative results. Conversely, if a person habitually thinks optimistically and hopefully, his positive thinking sets in motion creative forces - and success instead of eluding him flows toward him.

Never react emotionally to what happens but always look for and find in every circumstance the good that's surely present there.

Do not let circumstances defeat you. You can if you think you can.

By success, of course, I do not mean that you may become rich, famous, or powerful for that does not, of necessity, represent achievement. Indeed, not infrequently, such individuals represent pathetic failure as persons.

Remember that "Help us grow this grass" is a far more effective sign than "Keep off the grass".
