Faith in oneself... is the best and safest course.
Jean Paul Richter

Because faith is one of the most powerful forces in existence. There are many levels to faith, but the first basic level is having faith in oneself. So many young people today lack this faith. They are told by others and society in general that if they don't look or act a certain way they won't be accepted. It's this same lack of faith that leads them to make poor choices, and it's the choices we make that determines whether we are powerful or powerless in life.

Given by doctors just six months of life, he lived for 20 years to tell the tale and analyze the modern Americans' pathetic reliance on drugs as cures. The real basis of cure is faith, in oneself, in divine power and in fellow humans like one's doctor.

Positive Encouraging Sayings to Motivate You

Whenever you see an employee or coworker doing a great job, be willing to make the effort to let him/her know you appreciate the good work that's being done. Simple words of appreciation, sincerely stated, are extremely powerful, highly appreciated and have important, positive consequences.
Bill Roche

Have you ever thanked your husband for "choosing you" above
all other women? He found you attractive as a person, and appreciated you. Though
many circumstances in your marriage may have changed, let your husband know that
you are glad God led you together, and that you want to be a blessing to him for the rest
of your marriage. Let him know that he can trust you to be in his corner.
Nancy Leigh DeMoss

Do you bring sunshine or gloom into the room? If you are a negative person, don't say, "I'm just a worrier. I was born that way." Or, "It’s my nature to be depressed." God is in the personality-changing business. He wants you to "be conformed to the likeness of his Son" (Romans 8:29). You can change. You can become known for your encouraging words.
Doug Britton

Have you ever noticed? … when your boss praises your work or encourages you in the morning, how delighted you are! You feel like pouring your heart in the work you do, even if there is no other good reason. The words of praise keep ringing sweet bells in your ears throughout the day. In the evening, you even tell your wife about it.
child-discipline-with-love.com

It is easier to memorize, and subsequently repeat, positively experienced images. There is plenty of time to discuss/practice things that need to be improved the next day by viewing objective films or gaining feedback from others. What is most important is to reinforce the positive aspects of performance immediately after the event, since focusing on things to improve the next time, or things that were not liked about performance, increases the chances of "choking" or performing worse in the future.
Brad Donahue

Think of work as a vocation. It should be something that calls to you as something you want to do, and it should be something that gives voice to who you are and what you want to say to the world. It is, above all else, something that lets you love.

Kent Nerburn, Letters to My Son

Words can be deadly weapons or protective layers of love. Words, thoughts and expressions send out a vibration into the universe. What we say and think about we bring about. Encouragement is an ongoing blessing. The underlying message is “keep going, you are on the right path.” It is an ever moving process, with an eye for the future and a vision of achievement.
Judy H Wright

Make your life better regarding your work. Choose today that you will begin the process of changing your attitude. Start finding anything that you can be positive about your job. Focus on it. As you do, you will find more things that are good about it. In so doing, you will change your life.
Michael Murphy

Positive attitude helps to cope more easily with the daily affairs of life. It brings optimism into your life, and makes it easier to avoid worry and negative thinking. If you adopt it as a way of life, it will bring constructive changes into your life, and makes them happier, brighter and more successful. With a positive attitude you see the bright side of life, become optimistic and expect the best to happen. It is certainly a state of mind that is well worth developing and strengthening.
Remez Sasson

Just learning one new idea can change a person's life. The more exposure to quality suggestions you have the more positive and permanent the results can be. This is why the most successful people still go to many seminars on business and find even greater success by listening to and using self-help motivational recordings daily. Never stop learning; use all of the resources available to you. Do not limit your self to just one or two ideas. You acquire small amounts of knowledge from many sources. As you assimilate this knowledge use it wisely and you will have discovered your potential is unlimited and your future full of bright images of success as well as having a positive and can do attitude.
Frederick G. Burgin

To empower and motivate your employees, customers, your suppliers, your bankers and so on, you simply need to be a genuine, positive and cheerful person. You develop a positive mental attitude. You be the kind of person from whom, “never is heard a discouraging word.” You are easygoing, genial, friendly, patient, tolerant and open minded. You make people feel comfortable being around you.
Vadim Kotelnikov

When a person can focus on something other than illness, it allows the body to take advantage of our own healing capacity. Hope in something beyond the illness and dedicating oneself to cures for the illness rather than dwelling on oneself and one's illness "gives purpose to life," and helps prevent the negative effects of stress while medical science does its work.
Benson
