Reflections from "As a man thinketh" by James Allen

"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.

Reflecting on this highlights the fact that I have been created with creative power (made in the image of God) and I have the power to command as master of myself the circumstances of my life.

Awareness: I have creative power, the power is within me, it is not without.

Change / Take action: Again, I will take back control of my life, stop looking outwards and begin to make commandments over my thoughts, my life and ultimately over my circumstances.

Book Recommendation: Today Matters by John C. Maxwell

Hello Hope you're well. I wanted to quickly share with you a book I've been reading over the past couple of months. It is called Today Matters by John C. Maxwell. In Today Matters , Maxwell advises that "the secret of your success is determined by your daily agenda. Make the decision once, then manage it daily. Successful people make the right decisions early and manage those decisions daily." He identifies 12 areas of life in which he believes the right decisions should be made. Once made, these decisions should be practised on a daily basis. I particularly enjoyed chapter 7 - Today's Thinking Gives Me An Advantage. John outlines various types of thinking including intentional thinking, big-picture thinking, creative thinking, etc. He explains the benefit of finding a time and space to practise the habit of good thinking daily. For me, my focus right now is intentional and creative thinking. You can purchase your copy of Today Matters...
