Introduction

A Positive Thought a Day Keeps the Negative Away, presents a year of positive thoughts, with supporting scripture paraphrased from the KJV Bible.

The content of the work is presented in a daily dated format, Monday through Sunday with no specific numerals.

This is the second publication by the author on positive thinking. The first being The Applied Power of Positive Thinking, published in 2014, by Inspiring Voice Publishers, Bloomington, IN.

Based on the author’s strong emphasis for positive thinking, by writing and publishing two books on the subject, one would assume, and rightly so, that positive thinking – at least in the author’s view – is an important issue; and it is.

In a turbulent world, it is the intent of the author to introduce positive thoughts and supportive scripture – to be read one day at a time – through which the reader can find strength, and their own peace to sustain them through each new day, and learn to use positive thought to forget the past and create positive meaning and mind set for the present and the future.
