This particular paragraph I read today really struck a chord with me. It reminds me of the steps I had to go through to make my transformation from a primarily negative person, to a much happier and fulfilled positive person. I have to say it's also somewhat an ego boost to be able to say that I figured this out on my own.
It is a well know fact that one comes, finally, to BELIEVE whatever one repeats to one's self, whether the statement be true or false. If a man repeats a lie over and over, he will eventually accept the lie as truth. Moreover, he will BELIEVE it to be the truth. Every man is what he is, because of the DOMINATING THOUGHTS which he permits to occupy his mind. Thoughts which a man deliberately places in his own mind, and encourages with sympathy, and with which he mixes any one or more of the emotions, constitute the motivating forces, which direct and control his every movement, act, and deed! -- Napoleon Hill - Think and Grow Rich

There's a lot of truth to that. The mind is an odd and powerful thing, and convincing yourself of something that you know isn't true is only the tip of the iceberg...
