Think positively about yourself.... ask God who made you to keep on remaking you.

The quotation joins two ideas Peale treated as inseparable: psychological attitude and spiritual dependence. “Think positively about yourself” urges an intentional rejection of self-contempt and defeatism, implying that self-perception shapes action and resilience. The second clause—asking God “to keep on remaking you”—frames self-improvement not as mere willpower but as ongoing moral and spiritual renewal. The ellipsis suggests a larger exhortation in which positive self-regard is paired with humility: one can affirm worth and potential while acknowledging the need for continual transformation. In Peale’s worldview, optimism becomes a religious practice, and personal growth is understood as a cooperative process between disciplined thought and divine grace.
