As a man thinketh…

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…

“Good thoughts and actions can never produce bad results; bad thoughts and actions can never produce good results. This is but saying that nothing can come from corn but corn, nothing from nettles but nettles. Men understand this law in the natural world, and work with it, but few understand it in the mental and moral world, and they, therefore; do not cooperate with it. Suffering is always the effect of wrong thought in some direction. It is an indication that the individual is out of harmony with himself, with the Law of his being. The sole and supreme use of suffering is to purify, to burn out all that is useless and impure.”

– James Allen, page 9 from his book “As A Man Thinketh”. Allen was a philosophical writer of British nationality known for his inspirational books and poetry.” via Today’s Quotes: Get Back Into Harmony With YOU!.
