Norman Vincent Peale – Quotes
Author of “The Power of Positive
Thinking”
Anybody
can do just about anything with himself that he really wants to and makes up
his mind to do. We are capable of greater things than we realize.
People
become really quite remarkable when they start thinking that they can do
things. When they believe in themselves they have the first secret of success.
Our
happiness depends on the habit of mind we cultivate. So practice happy thinking
every day. Cultivate the merry heart, develop the happiness habit, and life
will become a continual feast.
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.
Drop
the idea that you are Atlas carrying the world on your shoulders. The world
would go on even without you. Don’t take yourself so seriously.
The
life of inner peace, being harmonious and without stress, is the easiest type
of existence.
You
can have peace of mind, improved health and an ever-increasing flow of energy.
Life can be full of joy and satisfaction.
It
is of practical value to learn to like yourself. Since you must spend so much
time with yourself you might as well get some satisfaction out of the
relationship.
Change
your thoughts and you change your world.
The
person who sends out positive thoughts activates the world around him
positively and draws back to himself positive results.
Believe
in yourself! Have faith in your abilities! Without a humble but reasonable
confidence in your own powers you cannot be successful or happy.
Never
talk defeat. Use words like hope, belief, faith, victory.
Any
fact facing us is not as important as our attitude toward it, for that
determines our success or failure.
Stand
up to your obstacles and do something about them. You will find that they
haven’t half the strength you think they have.
Imagination
is the true magic carpet.
Be
humble, be big in mind and soul, be kindly; you will like yourself that way and
so will other people.
It’s
always too early to quit.
If
you have zest and enthusiasm you attract zest and enthusiasm. Life does give
back in kind.
If
you paint in your mind a picture of bright and happy expectations, you put
yourself into a condition conducive to your goal.
There
is real magic in enthusiasm. It spells the difference between mediocrity and
accomplishment.
