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.

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

Always maintain hopefulness, especially when the going is hard.

Every day remind yourself of your own ability, of your good mind and affirm that you can make something really good out of your life.

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.

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

Live your life and forget your age.
