Learn to think in positive affirmations.
Affirmations are any statements you make. Too
often we think in negative affirmations. Negative
affirmations only create more of what you say you
don't want. Saying, I hate my job, will get you
nowhere. Declaring, I now accept a wonderful new
job, will open the channels in your consciousness
to create that.
- Louise Hay
People spend a lifetime searching for happiness;
looking for peace. They chase idle dreams,
addictions, religions, even other people, hoping
to fill the emptiness that plagues them. The
irony is the only place they ever needed to search
was within.

For many, negative thinking is a habit, which over
time, becomes an addiction... A lot of people
suffer from this disease because negative thinking
is addictive to each of the Big Three -- the mind,
the body, and the emotions. If one doesn't get
you, the others are waiting in the wings.
