UNSINKABLE FAITH
God-Filled Strategies to Transform the Way You Think, Feel, and Live
Companion Study Guide and Journal
Dear friend,
I am so glad you have decided to pursue a life of positive thinking and optimistic living!
This study guide and journal, along with your copy of Unsinkable Faith, will equip you to break free from the stronghold of negativity in your life and embrace the positive life God has always wanted you to enjoy.
This study guide will provide space for you to answer all the reflection questions and record your thoughts as you read through the book, in addition to practicing writing and memorizing the mind-renewing verses. It also offers bonus material for every chapter, which is not in the book itself, and which I trust you will find inspiring. This bonus material helps you learn interesting information about the people whose quotes are shared at beginning of each chapter in the book and serves as an additional resource for proving we all can have mind over matter. The additional bonus questions after each biography or story will also help you dig deeper into your own mindset and motivate you to strive even harder for a positive life.
I hope as you learn more about the lives of the people who have left a legacy of positive thinking quotes, your eyes will be opened to see how even they had to work at being positive thinkers. Life is not always easy, but we always have control over our minds. The way we think determines how we live, but also determines the legacies we leave behind.
I pray as you complete this book and study guide, and journal your thoughts and how God is working in your life, that not only will your heart and mind be transformed and renewed, but your life will be too.
Sweet blessings,
Tracie

Happiness is a state of mind. It’s just according to how you look at things.
—WALT DISNEY
Walt Disney is known to have had one of the most optimistic outlooks in history. But it wasn’t because his life lacked the presence of problems.
Most of us think of Walt Disney as an incredibly inspiring man of success, who persisted in making his dreams come true and accomplished amazing things. But his success and accomplishments didn’t come easy.
Before Disney World became a reality and before Disney became a household name, Walt endured endless problems. He was fired from a newspaper because they said he lacked ideas. His first few animated movies, like Pinocchio, Dumbo, and Bambi, all either failed to generate much revenue or turned into a financial loss at first. His staff was hired out from under him to go to another company. His idea for a theme park was rejected by the city of Anaheim, California, for fear that it would attract crowds and problems. And these are just a few of the rejections, criticisms, disappointments and negative experiences he endured over his lifetime.
But despite all his setbacks, disappointments, and failures, he never gave up, and he never allowed a negative attitude to keep him from thinking positive and pushing forward, continually believing that good things were yet to come. He believed a positive mind was the key to success.
Instead of seeing failure as a stopping point, he viewed it as an opportunity to begin again. He looked at his circumstances as challenges to overcome, rather than problems to trip him up.
He never stopped trying, and embraced optimism in his personal actions, attitudes, and leadership style. It was Walt Disney’s optimism that helped him push past all the difficult circumstances in his life, which happened year after year, and overcome his challenges and failures.
Who spoke words of criticism to you in the past which caused you to feel like a failure, or lose confidence, and possibly give up on your dreams?
Write out a prayer confessing those hurts to God and asking Him to fill you with confidence and hope and restored faith in yourself, and who you are
