Positive Thinking Yields Success

Positive thinking is the basis of happiness and success.  I don’t think you can have a good life without it.  When you think negative thoughts, it saps your mind and drains your spirit.

I’m convinced that man can lift himself out of his circumstances, no matter how bad, with the help of positive thinking.

I think the two most detrimental thinkers in human history were Charles Darwin and Sigmund Freud — Darwin because he said man’s attitudes are controlled by his body and Freud because he believed man is influenced by forces outside himself and beyond his control.

I won’t accept that, and don’t think other people should either.  It’s too easy to blame other people and things for our troubles.  When we start changing what’s inside ourselves, the outside things start to change too.

We CAN change for the better — with positive thinking.
