Reflections from "As a man thinkteth" by James Allen

I've been reading a great little booklet on the power of thought and it seemed like a good idea to share some of my thoughts, so here goes.

James Allen states that: 
"Man is buffeted by circumstances so long as he believes himself to be the creature of outside conditions, but when he realises that he is a creative power, and that he may command the hidden soil and seeds of his being out of which circumstances grow, he then becomes the rightful master of himself"

Awareness - I am always the master. It is easier for me to believe that I am at the mercy of some external force, or that the experiences I face are completely outside of my control, but when I realise that every thing begins with a thought that has been nurtured in my mind I truly become the master of the personal circumstances of my life.

Change - I will stop putting the responsibility elsewhere

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.

Never give up
