Norman Vincent Peale, the main proponent for positive thinking, recalled a time when his concept was laughed at in the 1950s. Decades later, positive thinking eventually gained scientific evidences and adherents. Doctors have estimated that almost 60% of all illnesses have a psychological basis like the marital spat before a heart attack, the business problems before the stroke, or the failed love affair before the depression.

Train your mind to think positively. See your glass as half full. Believe you’ll beat your disease and you can.
