When you affirm big, believe big and pray big, big things happen.
One of the most powerful concepts, one which is a sure cure for lack of confidence, is the thought that God is with you and helping you. This is one of the simplest teachings in religion, namely, that Almighty God will be your companion, will stand by you, help you, and see you through. No other idea is so powerful in developing self-confidence as this simple belief when practiced. To practice it simply affirm "God is with me; God is helping me; God is guiding me." Spend several minutes each day visualizing his presence. Then practice believing that affirmation.

Become a possibilitarian. No matter how dark things seem to be or actually are, raise your sights and see possibilities -- always see them, for they're always there.
As long as enthusiasm holds out, so will new opportunities.
Every problem contains the seed of it's own solution.
Yesterday ended last night. Every day is a new beginning. Learn the skill of forgetting. And move on.
The only people who don't have problems are in a cemetery.
