நீங்கள் வாழும் உலகம் வெளிப்புறச் சூழ்நிலைகளாலும் சூழல்களாலும் தீர்மானிக்கப்படுவதில்லை. மாறாக, உங்கள் மனத்தை வழக்கமாக ஆக்கிரமித்துக் கொண்டிருக்கும் எண்ணங்களால் தீர்மானிக்கப்படுகின்றன - Norman Vincent Peale

Try, really try. Think, really think. Believe, really believe.

Those who are fired with an enthusiastic idea and who allow it to take hold and dominate their thoughts find that new worlds open for them. As long as enthusiasm holds out, so will new opportunities.

His master replied, ‘Well done, good and faithful servant! You have been faithful with a few things; I will put you in charge of many things . . .’” MATTHEW 25:23 OCTOBER 12 A man offered to drive me to the airport if I would talk with him about a personal problem. On the way there, he confided all his troubles, worries, disappointments, and unhappiness. I said to him, “The only way to free yourself from it is to stand up against it now and practice happiness.” “How do you practice happiness?” he asked. I cited the example of John Wesley, who, in his maturity, was one of the greatest men of faith in all the world. At an earlier time in his life, Wesley had no faith whatsoever. So he hit upon the device of acting as though he did have faith. And in due time, he did have faith. You can bring about the ideal condition by persistently acting as though that ideal condition already existed. Our Heavenly Father, help us never to be discouraged nor overcome. Grant that we may enter into the life of our time with creative power to make it a better world. Through Jesus Christ, our Lord. Amen.
