As A Man Thinketh
In His Heart So Is He

James Allen (1864-1912), the writer of the book 'As A Man Thinketh', is seen as the father of the modern personal development industry. His books contain a huge amount of inspiring content. It makes you see the Truth about who you are.

In this part I've put some quotes of James Allen to emphasize your worth and possibilities:


Your Thinking

'A man is literally what he thinks'.

'You are today where your thoughts have brought you; you will be tomorrow where your thoughts take you'.

'All that you accomplish or fail to accomplish with your life is the direct result of your thoughts'.

'Good thoughts bear good fruit, bad thoughts bear bad fruit'.

As Within, So Without

'Man is made or unmade by himself. By the right choice he ascends. As a being of power, intelligence, and love, and the lord of his own thoughts, he holds the key to every situation'.

'Circumstances do not make the man, they reveal him to himself'.

'Men are anxious to improve their circumstances, but are unwilling to improve themselves; they therefore remain bound'.

'The man who sows wrong thoughts and deeds and prays that God will bless him is in the position of a farmer who, having sown tares, asks God to bring forth for him a harvest of wheat'.

'Work joyfully and peacefully, knowing that right thoughts and right efforts inevitably bring about right results'.


Purpose

'To begin to think with purpose, is to enter the ranks of those strong ones who only recognize failure as one of the pathways to attainment'.

'Above all be of single aim; have a legitimate and useful purpose, and devote yourself unreservedly to it'.

'The greatest achievement was at first and for a time a dream. The oak sleeps in the acorn, the bird waits in the egg, and in the highest vision of the soul a waking angel stirs. Dreams are the seedlings of realities'.

'Dream lofty dreams, and as you dream, so you shall become. Your vision is the promise of what you shall one day be; your ideal is the prophecy of what you shall at last unveil'.

'A 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'.
