Think excitement, talk excitement, act out excitement, and you are bound to become an excited person. Life will take on a new nest, deeper interest and greater meaning. You can think, talk and act yourself into dullness or into monotony or into unhappiness. By the same process you can build up inspiration, excitement and surging depth of joy.

Never talk defeat. Use words like hope, belief, faith, victory.

Believe in yourself, believe in your future.

Fill the day with enthusiasm. Give the day all you've got and it will give you all it's got, which will be plenty.

Yesterday ended last night. Every day is a new beginning. Learn the skill of forgetting. And move on.

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.
