Reflections from “As a man thinketh” by James Allen



“The outer world of circumstance shapes itself to the inner world of thought, and both pleasant and unpleasant external conditions are factors, which make for the ultimate good of the individual. As the reaper of his own harvest, man learns both by suffering and bliss.”

Awareness: This just stands out to me. I cannot expect a particular result on the outside while doing something completely opposed to the results I'm expecting or yet still, nurturing something completely different in nature on the inside, i.e planting oranges, but expecting mangoes.

Take action: This week, I'll be examining my thought processes, what I'm really putting in and the results I see.

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

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...
