1. Read the short inspirational text below written by Norman Vincent Peale: The world in which you live is not determined by outward circumstances as much as it is by the thoughts that occupy your mind. You can think and believe your way to misery or to a life of joy, satisfaction, and abundance. You have the power to choose. The concept of positive thinking is a philosophy, an expression of faith. It doesn't ignore life's problems, but explains a practical approach to deal with, and overcome, them. Anyone interested in seeking a better, promise- filled way of life, can find it through positive thinking and faith in God. Consider the old truism that behind the darkest clouds the sun is shining. In the toughest situations there is always some value that is inherently good. The positive thinker will look for the good, for the advantage, and will therefore do far better with the difficulty than the negative thinker will. What you deeply think and visualize has a strong tendency to happen.
