Absolutelly right. Trust in oneself, optimism and positive thinking is what leads us along the way. If my thoughts are negative, I'll probably won't do anything, and keep myself in the comfort zone. 6 months ago, I was totally broke, my wife left me leaving me with no money, car or food. I wanted to suicide. But a voice inside me said: you must live, for you, for your children...I set my mind that in 3 months, I would be fine, happy and that this bitter moment would be a thing of the past. I worked toward that goal, never letting my mind hesitate for a second. And here I am, alive, healthy, getting my prosperity back. New job, girlfriend and happy. And that was possible because I believed in a better future. Don't give up, and never let anybody take your positive mindset
