he difference between can and cannot are only three letters. Three letters that
determine your life's direction.
Being positive or negative are habits of thoughts that have a very strong
influence on everyone's life.
Positive and negative are directions. Which direction do you choose?
Positive thinking is expecting, talking and visualizing with certainty what you
want to achieve, as an accomplished fact.
Riches, mediocrity and poverty begin in the mind.
Reality is the mirror of your thoughts. Choose well what you put in front of the
mirror.
The mind is the decisive factor in your life, but who decides for the mind?
A positive attitude brings strength, energy, motivation and initiative.
To think negatively is like taking a weakening drug.
Positive thoughts are not enough. There have to be positive feelings and
positive actions.
When you say, "I can't" and expect the worst, you become weak and unhappy.
When you say "I can", and expect success, you fill yourself with confidence and
happiness.
Being resolute, decisive and courageous in small matters and in big ones is
being positive.

3. You can close the windows and darken your room, and you can open the windows and
let light in. It is a matter of choice. Your mind is your room. Do you darken it
or do you fill it with light?
Positive thinking and negative thinking are attitudes. They are points of view,
and show the way people handle their affairs.
Suppose you stand at a crossroads, one way leads to a desert and the other one
to lush meadows, which way do you choose?
Clear thoughts produce clear results.
