“Attitudes are more important than facts.” That is worth repeating until its truth grips you. Any fact facing us, however difficult, even seemingly hopeless, is not so important as our attitude towards that fact. How you think about a fact may defeat you before you ever do anything about it. You may permit a fact to overwhelm you mentally before you start to deal with it actually. On the other hand, a confident and optimistic thought pattern can modify or overcome the fact altogether. If you feel that you are defeated and have lost confidence in your ability to win, sit down, take a peace of paper and make a list, not of the factors that are against you, but of those that are for you. In doing this act your inner powers will assert themselves and with the help of God you will rise out of any difficulty regardless of what it may be. Emerson declared a tremendous truth: “They conquer who believe they can”. And he added: “Do the things that you fear and death of fear is certain.” Practice confidence and faith in your fears and insecurities will soon have no power over you.
