"Bad thoughts only lead to failure," said Norman Vincent Peale the last time he spoke at a Bane-Clene convention. "You can think yourself to failure or you can think your way to success. Belief is a form of thoughts. You can disbelieve yourself into a frustrated existence or you can believe yourself into a successful life. It is up to you.
"We do not half realize the power of thought either to destroy or to create. Thoughts actually are forces. You can't see them but they are substantial nevertheless. Thoughts are dynamic powers.
Think negative thoughts and you activate negative forces, drawing back to yourself negative results. Like attracts like. Send out hate and you get back hate. Send out fear and you get back fear. Send out defeat and you draw defeat to yourself.
"Conversely, send out positive thoughts and what comes back? Positive results, of course. You defeat yourself, or you gain victories by the thoughts you think. So get a good thought, build it up, develop it. Get a faith thought, make it grow. Don't let it stop on a minimum level. Let it take over. Make a giant of it and it will make a giant of you."
