Please please read the book "The Alchemist" by Paulo Coelho, if you have not already read it.
Its a brilliant book, with LOTS and LOTS of pointers, good points, things which can be useful to us. In case someone has read it we can start a sharing/discussion so that we can USE the book to the fullest. The flow of positivity which is there in the book is just unbelievable.

Some points to start with (Basically quotes from the book):

"When you want something, all the universe conspires to help you achieve it"

“There is only one thing that makes a dream impossible to achieve: the fear of failure.”

"When someone makes a decision, he is really diving into a strong current that will carry him to places he had never dreamed of when he first made the decision."

"Tell your heart that the fear of suffering is worse than the suffering itself. And that no heart has ever suffered when it goes in search of its dreams, because every second of the search is a second's encounter with God and with eternity."

"Because I don't live in either my past or my future. I'm interested only in the present. If you can concentrate always on the present, you'll be a happy man. .... Life will be a party for you, a grand festival, because life is the moment we're living right now."

I could go on and on, but i guess it will be more useful if you read it for urself and find out.
