Any fact facing us is not as important as our attitude toward it, for that determines our success or failure.

Check what you did right and don't get lost in basking on your glory. It will make it easier to repeat whatever you did that created the success.

Repetition of the same thought or physical action develops into a habit which, repeated frequently enough, becomes an automatic reflex.

We tend to get what we expect.

Constantly reemphasize to yourself the great fact that God built potential strength into your nature. By affirming it and practicing it, this basic strength will toughen up as muscles do.

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

There are some things you can't learn from others. You have to pass through the fire.
