The Power Of Positive Thinking

The famous author of The Power of Positive Thinking once told this
story.

A man once telephoned Norman Vincent Peale. He was despondent and told
the reverend that he had nothing left to live for. Peale invited the man
over to his office. Everything is gone, hopeless, the man told him. I'm
living in deepest darkness. In fact, I've lost heart for living
altogether.

Norman Vincent Peale smiled sympathetically.

Let's take a look at your situation, he said calmly. On a sheet of paper
he drew a vertical line down the middle. He suggested that they list on
the left side the things the man had lost, and on the right, the things
he had left. You won't need that column on the right side, said the man
sadly. I have nothing left, period.

Peale asked, When did your wife leave you

What do you mean She hasn't left me. My wife loves me!

That's great! said Peale enthusiastically. Then that will be number one
in the right-hand column Wife hasn't left. Now, when were your children
jailed

That's silly. My children aren't in jail!

Good! That's number two in the right-hand column Children not in jail,
said Peale, jotting it down.

After a few more questions in the same vein, the man finally got the
point and smiled in spite of himself. Funny, how things change when you
think of them that way, he said.
