	Positive Thinking
		The development of a positive mental attitude means that the individual must not only have qualities such as determination, patience, and firm resolve, but must focus these qualities on, and integrate them fully with, noble aspirations for the benefit of mankind.
		No! Positive thinking means to build for ourselves a beautiful inner life, to landscape an inner garden, complete with pavilions and cool places, replete with gentle sunshine and cooling showers, and good company, and with birds singing, and bees collecting honey.
		Positive thinking is one of the tools to help us in this, along with prayer, good reading, good company, a simple outer life, meditation, charity, high standards of integrity, modest expectations, honest labour, the remembrance of and gratitude to our Creator, and above all love.
