Norman Vincent Peale
There are two primary forces in this world, fear and faith. Fear can move you to destructiveness or sickness or failure. Only in rare instances will it motivate you to accomplishment. But faith is a greater force. Faith can drive itself into your consciousness and set you free from fear forever.

Today remind yourself that nothing is too good to be true. Your great hopes can be realized. Your most wonderful dreams can come true. All that you really need, you can have. An incredible goodness is operating on your behalf. If you are living a paltry life, resolve to stop it today. Expect great things to happen.
Norman Vincent Peale
Enthusiasm releases the drive to carry you over obstacles and adds significance to all that you do. It tones up your physical vitality and gives warmth to all your personal relationships. When you associate with enthusiasm long enough it grabs you and takes over within you.
Norman Vincent Peale

Norman Vincent Peale
You only lose energy when life becomes dull in your mind. Your mind gets bored and therefore tired of doing nothing.
Norman Vincent Peale
If I wanted to become a tramp, I would seek information and advice from the most successful tramp I could find. If I wanted to become a failure, I would seek advice from people who have never succeeded. If I wanted to succeed in all things, I would look around me for those who are succeeding, and do as they have done.
Norman Vincent Peale
Fear is never a reason for quitting it is only an excuse.
Norman Vincent Peale
Begin where you are. Don't wait for someone else to change things for you. Do it yourself
