1. It is not necessary to suffer because of past mistakes, losses and shocks. We simply take the lesson out of each experience, release it and go on to healthier living.

2. God does not punish us. We punish ourselves.

3. That intelligent power within you is the same power that grows a tree grows the hair on your head and the grass of your lawn. It grows bodies, heals broken bones, and broken hearts. That power is Nature – Life – God.

4. People respond to you according to the way you think and act toward them.

5. The power to choose, to decide, is probably your greatest God-given power. The power to choose what you believe about yourself and about others, to choose what you will love, to choose the plans which you accept in your imagination is your power to make your own heaven or hell.

6. When we are upset, we upset our family, our friends, and our associates. Our human relations are painful rather than pleasant. Tension wastes energy.

7. We live but one moment at a time and anyone can meet the present moment. Try not to anticipate trouble for the future.

8. When you worry, you reach out to the future for trouble.

9. When we worry, we concentrate our minds upon that which we don't want and in doing so we create experiences we don't want.
