Отрывок из книги
Keep your face to the sunshine and you cannot see a shadow. – Hellen Keller.
A man’s life is a projection of his choices. His choices are a projection of his thoughts, and his thoughts are funnels through which he is made or marred. Our thoughts are constantly in a state of chaos, and the man who has truly mastered his thoughts has mastered life. Staying positive is not just a science: it is an art that can be mastered by everyone. It is the greatest secret to being successful and it is a timeless secret. It’s a secret recipe that successful people all over the world use. It helps the best of athletes perform beyond their best, and it never fails them. No mountain can be moved without positive thoughts, neither can anyone be truly free without positive thoughts. What we think is what we eventually become, and what we think is who we are.
