Develop a tremendous faith in God and that will give you a humble yet soundly realistic faith in yourself.

You have to picturize, prayerize and actualize.

Change yourself and your work will seem different.

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.

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.

Make a mental list of happy thoughts and pass them through your mind several times every day.

The greatest measure of a human being isn't how he handles himself when things are going well, but how he handles himself when things are going badly, when defeat comes.
