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.

Reflections from “As a man thinketh” by James Allen

Photo by Thought Catalog on Unsplash "Victories attained by right thought can only be maintained b watchfulness. Many give way when success is assure, and rapidly fall back into failure.  All achievements, whether in the business, intellectual, or spiritual world, are the result of definitely directed thought, are governed by the same law and are of the same method; the only difference lies in the object of attainment." Awareness - I must always be alert and watchful over my thoughts, there can be no slacking in this area. Made me think of all the scriptures that admonish to be alert, watchful and of a sober mind. Change / Take Action - I will continue to watch my thoughts so I don't loose ground or slip back into what i've conquered.
