As I go about my daily life I find it very useful to ‘check in’ now and again with many of the great thinkers and inspired individuals who have blazed the spiritual trail before me. Their wisdom and ‘positive affirmations’ helps keep my highest goals at the forefront of my mind and can lift my spirits at the times I most need it. Here are a few choice nuggets of positive thinking:

“Do not be surprised now when the outstanding truth unfolds to you that your consciousness is the all power and the only power acting upon your affairs, controlling and maintaining your health, revealing to you the intelligence and direction necessary for your success in any and every walk of life”
(Joel S. Goldsmith, 1992, p122)

“When your mind thinks correctly, when you understand the truth, when the thoughts deposited in your subconscious mind are constructive, harmonious, and peaceful, the magic working power of your subconscious will respond. It will bring about harmonious conditions, agreeable surroundings, and the best of everything. Once you begin to control your thought processes, you can apply the powers of your subconscious to any problem or difficulty. You will actually be consciously cooperating with the infinite power and omnipotent law that governs all things.”
(Joseph Murphy, 1997, p7)

“If you will let your dominant intention be to revise and improve the content of the story you tell every day of your life, it is our absolute promise to you that your life will become that ever-improving story. For by the powerful law of attraction, it must be!”
(‘Abraham’, 2008, p206)

“Carry any kind of thought you please about with you and so long as you retain it, no matter how you roam over the land or sea, you will unceasingly attract to yourself, knowingly or inadvertently, exactly and only what corresponds to your own dominant quality of thought.”
(Swami Sivananda, 2004, p21)

“If you wish to demonstrate prosperity, begin to think and talk about it and to see it everywhere. Do nothing that contradicts this thought either mentally or physically. The world is full of good; take it and forget all else. Rise above depression and be glad that you are saved from adversity; the human mind needs to be cleansed from the morbid thoughts that bind through its false beliefs.”
(Ernest Holmes, 1987, p23)

The physical laws of the universe are actually this whole process of divinity in motion, or consciousness in motion. When we understand these laws and apply them in our lives, anything we want can be created, because the same laws that nature uses to create a forest, or a galaxy, or a star, or a human body can also bring about the fulfilment of our deepest desires.”
(Deepak Chopra, 1994, p5)
