I have been reading, “Confidence: Biblical Truths for Discovering God’s Potential For You,” by Norman Vincent Peale.

Another one of those inspiring books that is well worth reading!  I want to share some impactful statements from his book:

“Everyone is criticizing and belittling the times, yet I think that our times, like all times, are very good times, if only we know what to do with them.”

“We can keep in mind what is right with things.”

“A positive thinker is a man who is tough enough mentally so that he sees all the difficulties in his life, but sees them straight, and having a knowledge of Almighty God, knows what he himself is and knows that he is equal to any problem he will ever have to face.”

“Certainly the world is full of problems, but thanks be to God, it is also full of the overcoming of problems.”

Norman says that there are five good words that help us keep a positive attitude towards life.  We can live life:  enthusiastically, gratefully, dynamically, philosophically, and positively.
