This book by James Allen outlines the power of one's thoughts and how it could work for us or against us.
Act is the blossom of thought, and joy and suffering are its fruits; thus does a man garner in the sweet and bitter fruitage of his own husbandry. "Thought in the mind hath made us, What noble and Godlike character is not a thing of favour or chance, but is the natural result of continued effort in
right thinking, the effect of long-cherished association with Godlike thoughts.
Man is made or unmade by himself; in the armoury of thought he forges the weapons by which he destroys himself; he also fashions the tools with which he builds for himself heavenly mansions of joy and strength and peace.
Man is buffeted by circumstances so long as he believes himself to be the creature of outside conditions, but when he realizes 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.
Circumstance does not make the man; it reveals him to himself
Man, therefore, as the lord and master of thought, is the maker of himself the shaper and author of environment... Not what he wishes and prays for does a man get, but what he justly earns. His wishes and prayers are only gratified and answered when they harmonize with his thoughts and actions.
Men are anxious to improve their circumstances, but are unwilling to improve themselves; they, therefore, remain bound.
man is not rightly conditioned until he is a happy, healthy, and prosperous being; and happiness, health, and prosperity are the result of a harmonious adjustment of the inner with the outer, of the man with his surroundings.
UNTIL thought is linked with purpose there is no intelligent accomplishment...man should conceive of a legitimate purpose in his heart, and set out to accomplish it. He should make this purpose the centralizing point of his thoughts.
He should make this purpose his supreme duty and should devote himself to its attainment, not allowing his thoughts to wander away into ephemeral fancies, longings, and imaginings. This is the royal road to self-control and true concentration of thought. Even if he fails again and again to accomplish his purpose (as he necessarily must until weakness is overcome), the strength of character gained will be the measure of his true success, and this will form a new starting-point for future power and triumph.
Thought allied fearlessly to purpose becomes creative force: he who knows this is ready to become something higher and stronger than a mere bundle of wavering thoughts and fluctuating
ALL that a man achieves and all that he fails to achieve is the direct result of his own thoughts.
Your Vision is the promise of what you shall one day be; your Ideal is the prophecy of what you shall at last unveil.
The more tranquil a man becomes, the greater is his success, his influence, his power for good.
Self-control is strength; Right Thought is mastery; Calmness is power. Say unto your heart, "Peace, be still!"
