The world in which you live is not primarily determined by outward conditions and circumstances but by the thoughts that habitually occupy your mind.

Stand up to your obstacles and do something about them. You will find that they haven't half the strength you think they have.

If you have zest and enthusiasm you attract zest and enthusiasm. Life does give back in kind.

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.

Don't take tomorrow to bed with you.

Always remember, there is more strength in you than you ever realized or even imagined. Certainly nothing can keep you down if you are determined to get on top of things and stay there.

Remember: what you think you will become - good or bad, weak or strong, defeated or victorious.
