I know that my thoughts help create my experiences. Thinking positive thoughts about myself helps me to do and be my best always.
The same is true of my relationships. If I am thinking the best about my family and friends, I bring the best to my relationships with them.
The very best thoughts I can think are God-centered thoughts of love, acceptance, and forgiveness. So I don't think less of friends and loved ones than what is true about them: They are children of God who deserve to be thought of with true, honorable, just, and positive thoughts.
My loving, patient thoughts create loving, long-lasting relationships.

Become a possibilitarian. No matter how dark things seem to be or actually are, raise your sights and see possibilities-- always see them, for they’re always there. Norman Vincent Peale

There is a deep tendency in human nature to become
precisely what we imagine or picture ourselves to be.
We tend to equate with our own self-appraisal of either
depreciation or appreciation. We ourselves determine
either self-limitation or unlimited growth potential. . . . The
positive thinkers constantly send out positive thoughts, together
with vital mental images of hope, optimism, and creativity. They
therefore activate the world around them positively and strongly
tend to draw back to themselves positive results. This is a
basic law of mind action. . . . The positive principle is based on
the fact that there is always an answer, a right answer, and that
positive thinking through a sound intellectual process
can always produce that answer.
Norman Vincent Peale
Joy increases as you give it, and diminishes as you try to keep it for yourself. In giving it, you will accumulate a deposit of joy greater than you ever believed possible.Norman Vincent Peale
Zen is about an active life, an involved life. When we know our minds
well and the emotions that our thinking creates, we tend to see better
what our lives are about and what needs to be done, which is generally
just the next task under our nose. Zen is about a life of action, not a life
of passively doing nothing. But our actions must be based on reality.
When our actions are based on our false thought systems (which are
based on our conditioning), they are poorly based. When we have seen
through the thought systems we can see what needs to be done.
