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

Awareness: I hold the key to the change I desire, I must learn to look inwards and begin to work this principle in my life.

We are victims of circumstances only so long as we consider ourselves pawns of fate, tossed here and there by outside forces. But if you realise your creative power - if you assume responsibility for the seeds and soil of your inner garden - then you become the master of your fate' James Allen Awareness - As long as I continue to think of myself as the victim of circumstance, nothing will change. Take Action/Change - As master of my fate, I will no longer have a victim mentality but turn it around by working on the inner garden of my mind/thoughts
