Think excitement, talk excitement, act out excitement, and you are bound to become an excited person. Life will take on a new zest, deeper interest and greater meaning. You can think, and talk yourself into dullness or into monotony or into unhappiness. By the same process you can build up inspiration, excitement and surging depth of joy.
Norman Vincent Peale

Asian proverb
You are a living magnet; you attract into your life people, situations and circumstances that are in harmony with your dominant thoughts. Whatever you dwell on in the conscious grows in your experience.
Brian Tracy
What worries you masters you.
Haddon W Robinson
What we think determines what happens to us, so if we want to change our lives, we need to stretch our minds.
Wayne Dyer (about Wayne Dyer)
The Law of Attraction is responding to your thought, not to your current reality. When you change the thought, your reality must follow suit. If things are going well for you, then focusing upon what is happening now will cause the well-being to continue, but if there are things happening now that are not pleasing, you must find a way of taking your attention away from those unwanted things.
You have the ability to quickly change your patterns of thought, and eventually… your life experience.
Abraham-Hicks, from Money, and the Law of Attraction: Learning to Attract Wealth, Health, and Happiness

It is the mind that maketh good or ill, that maketh wretch or happy, rich or poor.

The mind is a powerful thing. It is the first step in the triad of creation. First there is Thought, then Word, then Manifestation. It is important to become consciously aware of your thoughts, so that they take you in the direction in which you truly want to go.
Annie Zalezsak
Whatever the mind of man can conceive and believe it can achieve.
from Think and Grow Rich, by Napoleon Hill
The same pattern of thinking that has gotten us to where we are will not get us to where we want to go.

Live as if every thought, good or bad, open or secret, comes back to you. It does.
The Daily Guru
During the time of the darkest night, act as if the morning has already come.
The Talmud
Be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind.
Romans 12:12 (see the Bible)
Real, constructive mental power lies in the creative thought that shapes your destiny, and your hour-by-hour mental conduct produces power for change in your life. Develop a train of thought on which to ride. The nobility of your life as well as your happiness depends upon the direction in which that train of thought is going.
Laurence J Peter
The hardest part of gaining any new idea is sweeping out the false idea occupying that niche.
Robert Heinlein
Inside his head a scene is forming – not just a vague or casual daydream, but a vision of the future that has all the reality, all the intensity of the present. Intuitively, the boy knows that sooner or later what he is visualizing will come to pass. He is sure of it. The scene in his head is a replica of the scene he has just witnessed behind the plate-glass window, with one all-important change. The occupant of the editor’s chair, thirty years hence, is himself. Himself, Roger Ferger, a poor youngster with no connections, no advantages, nothing except an image so powerful that it will bend all the laws of probability until they conform to an even stronger, though hidden law.
He goes home with that image fixed in his head. When he says his prayers that night, he relives his dream and asks for help in achieving it. Night after night he does this, unaware that by imaging himself so intensely in that editorial chair, and by reinforcing that image with prayer, he is touching the Kingdom of God within himself and releasing forces more powerful than he knows. How do I know this story? I know because Roger Ferger related it to me years after that memorable day in his childhood. He told me when he was not merely the editor but also the publisher and the owner of the Cincinatti Enquirer.
from Positive Imaging, by Norman Vincent Peale
Some people are always grumbling because roses have thorns. I am thankful that thorns have roses.
Allophones Karr
A difficulty is approached rightly when you inquire inwardly, 'How can I think about this in a different way from last time?’
The Daily Guru
A man who does not think for himself does not think at all.
Oscar Wilde
If you realized how powerful your thoughts are, you would never think a negative thought.
Peace Pilgrim (1908-1981) American peace activist (about Peace Pilgrim)
You are not happy because you are well. You are well because you are happy. You are not depressed because trouble has come to you, but trouble has come to you because you are depressed. You can change your thoughts and feelings, and then the outer things will come to correspond, and indeed there is no other way of working.
Emmet Fox
We are what we think. All that we are arises with our thoughts. With our thoughts we make the world.
Buddha
The thoughts we choose to think are the tools we use to paint the canvas of our lives.
Louise Hay
The only things in your control are your thoughts and then your actions. Positive, powerful thoughts lead to positive, powerful actions, and when done with repeated consistency this cycle leads to greatness. Dream it! Pray for it! Believe it! Work for it! and then be ready when it happens!
Greg Werner, Strength and Conditioning Coach
To think bad thoughts is really the easiest thing in the world. If you leave your mind to itself it will spiral down into ever increasing unhappiness. To think good thoughts, however, requires effort. This is one of the things that discipline – training – is about.
from the novel Shogun by James Clavell
The greatest discovery of my generation is that man can alter his life simply by altering his attitude of mind.
William James
But words are things, and a small drop of ink,
Falling like dew, upon a thought, produces
That which makes thousands, perhaps millions, think.
George Gordon Byron
