Heard the taped version of Dr. Norman Vincent Peale's YOU CAN
IF YOU THINK YOU CAN, which is his guide to living a better life.
Dr. Peale, the author of THE POWER OF POSITIVE THINKING
(perhaps the classic book on that topic), has another winner
here . . . it is full of useful tidbits and stories that I found
applicable to my life, and I'm sure you also be able
to relate to them.
One, in particular, had me chuckling:
* I know a place where there are 100,000 people with no problems.
It is the cemetery.
Yet what really impressed me most was the fact that Dr. Peale
was talking about the now-famous law of attraction long
before it became the craze that it now is . . . as he notes:
* What we think and visualize is, to a large extent, what we
are about to become.
And this observation that had me nodding in agreement:
* When fate throws a dagger at you, there are ways to catch it. If you catch
it by the blade, you can harm yourself. But if you catch it by the handle,
you can use it to help you fight through the obstacles ahead.
Dr. Peale also served as the narrator for much of this program. . . though
he was 90 at the time (he lived to be 95), his enthusiasm made it more
enjoyable than had I just read the book.
