I heard to your speech this evening about the major power of positive thinking, and I need to ask how I may acquire some trust in myself.‖

―There are 2 steps,‖ I answered. ―1st, it's crucial to distinguish why you have these beliefs. That calls for analysis and will require time, and might call for treatment. But to pull you through this trouble now I shall provide you a formula. As you walk down the street this evening, repeat particular words I shall provide you. State them over a lot of times before your crucial appointment.
