Reflections from "As a man thinketh" by James Allen

Effect of thought in circumstances
Allen says that "just as a gardener weeds, waters, and cares for his or her plot, we must cultivate our minds—weeding out negative, mistaken, useless thoughts, while encouraging positive, true, fruitful thoughts".

I find this to be a very profound statement as it pushes one to actively pick up and take full responsibility for thoughts in the mind and shows that it is for man himself, not another, to cultivate the soil of the mind.

Awareness: It is my responsibility to tend my thoughts to see the type of fruits I want. I can’t leave it to chance or else I risk a harvest of weeds.

Hello and update

Hello and Happy New Year It's 2019 and I realise it's been a long, long while :) since I've posted anything here. A lot has happened in my life, but my heart has been coming back to this blog and the need to start writing again, so write I will. Writing is one of my first loves and I intend to revive this love using this blog :) To that end, I will start by putting up posts on things on my heart, challenges I'm involved in - currently doing a 30 Day Minimalist Challenge, reading As a man thinketh booklet by James Allen for 15 days straight - goals I want to achieve, amongst a few. Anyway, now I've put it out there I will be posting on this blog for 90 days straight. Love BelovedEsther
