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

I’m about to do something brand-new. It’s bursting out! Don’t you see it? Isaiah 43:18 What a challenging year it's been. From the natural disasters reported at the start of the year, to the current global pandemic, to the current fight for justice for the lives lost at the hands of those in authority. Faced with these uncertainties, and what we now term the new normal, many don't know how they'll make it through, but I'd like to encourage you to keep pressing forward despite all the challenges. With less than six months to go, there's no telling what you and I can accomplish in between that time. Don't give up hope, kee...
