Quotes about Negativity

The majority of our brainpower is devoted to the old beliefs of scarcity, problem relationships, and a God who shoots fire bolts from heaven.

I believe that when you think of the negative, and you get up discouraged — 'There's nothing good in my future' — I really believe it almost ties the hands of God. God works where there's an attitude of faith. I believe faith is all about hope.

I really believed that fear is contagious.
