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

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
