“Think of negative speech as verbal pollution. And that's what I've been doing: visualizing insults and gossip as a dark cloud, maybe one with some sulfur dioxide. Once you've belched it out, you can't take it back. As grandma said, if you don't have anything nice to say, don't say anything at all. The interesting this is, the less often I vocalize my negative thoughts, the fewer negative thoughts I cook up in the first place.”

“The rule of thumb in student files seemed to be, "If you have nothing negative to say, don't say anything at all.”

“OCD focuses on the negative. I didn't think to myself, My praying will save my grandma. Instead, I thought, If I don't pray, my grandma will die for sure.”

“Your thoughts make what happen in your life~You can turn anything negative into the positive~What you visualize can come true and you attract it to yourself”

“When you thank something negative for happening, or thank a negative thought for being there, you've just negated the negative and turned it into positive energy!”

“I can't do it. I've been here before and it's not a room with a view. The only power I have is the negative power of withdrawal. If I don't withdraw I have no power at all. A relationship where one person has no power or negative power, isn't a relationship, it's the bond between master and slave.”
