negative experience is like a spark that can be fanned into a blaze
by thinking and talking about it. Instead, snuff it out the instant it
arises by saying, “I am responsible!” Then look for reasons why you
might be responsible.You will always find them.

THE TRUE GODS ARRIVE
An English poet once wrote, “When the false gods go, the true gods
arrive.” When you stop thinking about, talking about, and rehears-
ing negative events and the emotions they trigger, the “true gods” of
positive emotions will fill your mind and heart. When you let go of
the thoughts, opinions, prejudices, and attitudes that make you un-
happy, you will begin to experience the thoughts and emotions that
make you feel good about yourself and your life.
Nature is on your side. Nature wants you to be happy, healthy,
prosperous, and fulfilled.Your destiny is to experience joy, harmony,
love, and the greatest of all human blessings,
peace of mind
. And just
as a gyroscope knocked off balance returns to an upright position,
your life and emotions return to peace and joy just as soon as you
stop doing and saying the things that move you away from a sense
of inner peace.
Decide this very day to give up your negative emotions. Re-
solve from this moment forward to become a positive, optimistic,
happy, enthusiastic person in every part of your life. Change your
thinking about yourself and your possibilities, and you change
your life.
