Hay preached a positive message with a metaphysical grounding. She said that there is a relationship between ideas and sickness and other disasters in life, and she challenged people to find a way to turn even the worst of things into something wonderful. Her philosophy was based on believing that everything that happens to you has a reason for being there, and that you can get through any difficulty if you remember this truth. Here are some more quotes by Louise Hay: "We are the creators of our own lives." "The main thing is to have a goal and be willing to work hard for it." "If you want to know what will make you happy in life, try to make another person happy first." "We must look within ourselves for peace and joy." "No one can tell you what to do or how to live your life." "Failure is simply the opportunity to begin again." "There are only two ways to improve your life: One is through learning, the other is through doing." "Keep moving forward." "If you want to succeed at anything, prepare yourself now. No one is going to help you out. No one is going to push you ahead.
