HEARTY THANKS TO NORMAN VINCENT PEALE.

READ AND BENEFIT MORE.
 
MORE AND MORE
LIVE THE LIFE OF HOPE AND SUCCESS.

1. Say to yourself, "Worry is just a very bad mental habit. 
And I can change any habit with God's help." 

2. You became a worrier by practicing worry. You can 
become free of worry by practicing the opposite and 

stronger 
habit of faith. With all the strength and perseverance 

you can 
command, start practicing faith. 

3. How do you practice faith? First thing every morning 
before you arise say out loud, "I believe," three times. 

4. Pray, using this formula, "I place this day, my life,
 my 
loved ones, my work in the Lord's hands. 
There is no harm in 
the Lord's hands, only good. Whatever happens, whatever 
results, if I am in the Lord's hands it is
 the Lord's will and it 
is good." 
5. Practice saying something positive concerning 
everything 
about which you have been talking negatively. Talk 
positively. For example, don't say,
"This is going to be a 
terrible day." Instead, affirm,
 "This is going to be a glorious 
day." Don't say, "I'll never be able to do that.
" Instead, 
affirm, "With God's help I will do that." 

6. Never participate in a worry conversation.
 Shoot an 
injection of faith into all your conversations.
 A group of 
people talking pessimistically can
 infect every person in the 
group with negativism. But by talking things up
 rather than 
down you can drive off that depressing atmosphere
and make 
everyone feel hopeful and happy. 

7. One reason you are a worrier is that 
your mind is literally 
saturated with apprehension thoughts, defeat thoughts, 
gloomy thoughts. To counteract, mark every passage 
in the 
Bible that speaks of faith, hope, happiness,
 glory, radiance. 
Commit each to memory. Say them over and over again until 
these creative thoughts saturate your subconscious mind. 
Then the subconscious will return to you what you have 
given it, namely, optimism, not worry.
8. Cultivate friendships with hopeful people.
 Surround 
yourself with friends who think positive,
 faith-producing 
thoughts and who contribute to a creative atmosphere.
 This 
will keep you re-stimulated with faith attitudes. 

9. See how many people you can help to cure 
their own 
worry habit. In helping another to overcome worry you get 
greater power over it within yourself. 

10. Every day of your life conceive of yourself 
as living in 
partnership and companionship with Jesus Christ.
 If He 
actually walked by your side, would you be worried or 
afraid? Well, then, say to yourself,
 "He is with me." Affirm 
aloud, "I am with you always." Then change it to say,
 "He is 
with me now." Repeat that affirmation 
three times every day.
