Formulate and stamp indelibly on your mind a mental picture of yourself as succeeding. Hold this picture tenaciously. Never permit it to fade. Your mind will seek to develop the picture… Do not build up obstacles in your imagination – Norman Vincent Peale

If you paint in your mind a picture of bright and happy expectations, you put yourself into a condition conducive to your goal – Norman Vincent Peale

Promises are like crying babies in a theater, they should be carried out at once – Norman Vincent Peale

Stand up to your obstacles and do something about them. You will find that they haven’t half the strength you think they have – Norman Vincent Peale

If you put off everything till you’re sure of it, you’ll never get anything done – Norman Vincent Peale

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 – Norman Vincent Peale
