In the month of September, I’m going to go back and reread James Allen’s classic work “As a man thinketh”. Quotes like this are the reason why:
“A man only begins to be a man when he ceases to whine and revile, and commences to search for the hidden justice which regulates his life. And as he adapts his mind to that regulating factor, he ceases to accuse others as the cause of his condition, and builds himself up in strong and noble thoughts; ceases to kick against circumstances, but begins to use them as aids to his more rapid progress, and as a means of discovering the hidden powers and possibilities within himself.”
Allen, James (2009-10-04). As a Man Thinketh (p. 26). Public Domain Books. Kindle Edition.
I need to ‘bathe’ in this kind of thinking every morning. By the way, I almost neglected to mention the book is free for your Kindle or Kindle software and you can download it by clicking the book icon. Go ahead! Feed your soul. Change your life…
I have this book in my computer as well …

Kind of what AA calls ‘fake it til you make it’ although I prefer ‘faith it til you make it’…

I never agreed with that comment, “fake it till you make it” … although I understand what it’s intended to mean. I always thought it sounded phony. I hear you though. :)

It has never sat well with me although I too, understand the good intent. That’s why I substitute ‘faith’ for fake…
