When you keep asserting that things are going to work out well, that you can do the job, that you will not have a flat tire, that you will get there on time, by talking up good results you invoke the law of positive effects and good results occur. Things do turn out well.

You must feed your mind even as you feed your body, and to make your mind healthy, you must feed it nourishing, wholesome thoughts.
Norman Vincent Peale
Image
Lots of people limit their possibilities by giving up easily. Never tell yourself this is too much for me. It's no use. I can't go on. If you do you're licked, and by your own thinking too. Keep believing and keep on keeping on.
Norman Vincent Peale

. . . a basic law: the more you practice the art of thankfulness, the more you have to be thankful for. This, of course, is a fact. Thankfulness does tend to reproduce in kind.

One person can make a difference. You don't have to be a big shot. You don't have to have a lot of influence. You just have to have faith in your power to change things.
Norman Vincent Peale
Image
No matter how dark things become, someone is always with you - and that someone is God. He helps by giving you peace and a positive mental attitude.
Norman Vincent Peale
Image
Believe that all the resources you need are in your mind. That is a formula that really works.
Norman Vincent Peale
Image
Not every day can be an easy one, nor every day fully happy but even a day of tough going and difficulty can be a good day.
Norman Vincent Peale
Image
They are inherently good - the bad reactions aren't basic. Every human being is a child of God and has more good in him than evil - but circumstances and associates can step up the bad and reduce the good. I've got great faith in the essential fairness and decency - you may say goodness - of the human being.

Begin where you are. Begin now.
Norman Vincent Peale
Image
The more you venture to live greatly, the more you will find within you what it takes to get on top of the things and stay there.
Norman Vincent Peale
Image
People fail to understand that unless they are themselves willing to give, they will never receive.
Norman Vincent Peale
Image
Any fact facing us is not as important as our attitude toward it, for that determines our success or failure. The way you think about a fact may defeat you before you ever do anything about it. You are overcome by the fact because you think you are.
Norman Vincent Peale
Image
Cultivate will power, that massive creative force that God the creator built into you. Do not let it remain flabby but strengthen it by use and exercise.
