Whenever a negative thought concerning your personal power comes to mind, deliberately voice a positive thought to cancel it out.

Never talk defeat. Use words like hope, belief, faith, victory.

Believe it is possible to solve your problem. Tremendous things happen to the believer. So believe the answer will come. It will.

You can make yourself enthusiastic by affirming enthusiasm and by thinking, talking, acting enthusiastic.

Expecting the best means that you put your whole heart (i.e. the central essence of your personality) into what you want to accomplish. People are defeated in life not because of lack of ability, but for lack of wholeheartedness. They do not wholeheartedly expect to succeed. Their heart isn't in it, which is to say, they themselves are not fully given.

Ask for what you want, but be willing to take what God gives you. It may be better than what you asked for.

Learn from both your mistakes and successes because if you learn only from your mistakes you will only learn more errors
