A positive thinker does not refuse to recognize the negative; he refuses to dwell on it.
You are overcome by the fact because you think you are.
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.
As long as enthusiasm holds out, so will new opportunities.
If you want to get somewhere you have to know where you want to go and how to get there. Then never, never, never give up.
Dwelling on negative thoughts is like fertilizing weeds.
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.
Believe you can, and you can. Belief is one of the most powerful of all problem dissolvers. When you believe that a difficulty can be overcome, you are more than halfway to victory over it already.
Action is a great restorer and builder of confidence. Inaction is not only the result, but the cause, of fear. Perhaps the action you take will be successful; perhaps different action or adjustments will have to follow. But any action is better than no action at all.
If you want things to be different, perhaps the answer is to become different yourself.
