If a person habitually thinks optimistically and hopefully he activates life around him positively and thereby attracts to himself positive results. What you mentally project reproduces in kind. Positive thinking sets in motion positive and creative forces and success flows toward you.

July 9


A friend once had a problem that had been agitating his mind for days and to which he could not get an answer. He decided to practice “creative spiritual quietness.” He went alone into a church and sat for an extended period in absolute silence. Presently, he began to be conditioned to quietness. Finally, he “dropped” his problem into a deep pool of mental and spiritual silence. He meditated upon God’s peace rather than upon the specific details of the problem. This seemed to clarify his thinking and, before leaving that quiet place, an answer began to emerge which proved to be the right one.
