Our happiness depends on the habit of mind we cultivate.

---

The only people who don't have problems are in a cemetery.

---

Promise yourself success at the beginning of each day, and you'll be surprised how often things will turn out that way.

---

A positive thinker does not refuse to recognize the negative; he refuses to dwell on it.

---

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.

---

Watch your manner of speech if you wish to develop a peaceful state of mind. Start each day by affirming peaceful, contented and happy attitudes and your days will tend to be pleasant and successful.

---

Never react emotionally to criticism. Analyze yourself to determine whether it is justified. If it is, correct yourself. Otherwise, go on about your business.

---

Every problem contains the seed of it's own solution.

---

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.

---

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.
