The Power of Positive Thinking by Norman Vincent Peale is one of my favorite author and book. I had this book since 1997. Whenever I am upset and no one to talk to, I read this book and it made me realized that everything in life has it's purpose and i feel recharged. And expression of faith that does not ignore life's problems, but rather explains a tough minded, practical approach to life full of potentials. This book teaches us to grow out our own personal necessity, you can have peace of mind, improved health, and never ceasing flow of energy. In short, your life can be full of joy and satisfaction. That's why i just want to share this for you.
Lack of self-confidence is one of the great problems besetting people today. Believe in yourself! Have faith in your abilities! Without a humble but reasonable confidence in your own powers you cannot be successful or happy. But with self- confidence you can succeed. A sense of inadequacy interferes with the attainment of your hopes, but self confidence leads to self realization and achievement. Because of the mental attitude, this will help you believe in yourself and release your inner powers. Many people are made miserable by an inferiority complex. But you need not suffer from this trouble. You can develop faith in yourself by saying:
"I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me"
(Philippians 4:13)
(Philippians 4:13)
Do this with an attitude and you will received ability to deal with your problem. The greatest secret for eliminating the inferiority complex, which is another term for profound self doubt, is to fill you mind with faith. Develop tremendous faith in God that will give you realistic faith in yourself. To build up feelings of confidence, practice suggesting confidence concepts to your mind.
(Matthew 17:20)
Attitudes are more important than facts. Any fact facing us, even seemingly hopeless, is not as important as our attitude toward that fact. You may permit a fact to overwhelm you mentally before you start to deal with it.
"If God be for us, who can be against us?"
(Romans 8:31)So if you feel that you are defeated and have lost confidence in your ability to win, sit down, take a piece of paper and make list, not of the factors that are against you, but those that are for you. If you think constantly of the forces that seem to be against you, they will assume a formidable strength they do not possess. But if you mentally visualize and affirm your assets, you will rise out of any difficulty. Your inner power will reassert themselves and with the help of GOD, lift you to victory.
A sure cure for lack of confidence is thought that God is actually with you and helping you. This is the one simplest teachings in religion, that Almighty God will see you through. No other idea is so powerful in developing self-confidence as this simple belief:
Practice believing that affirmation! Affirm it, visualize it, believe it and actualize itself. The release of power which this procedure stimulates will astonish you.
