Timeless Classsic: As a Man Thinketh

Filed Under Emotional Healing, Life Coaching, Mental Healing

“The aphorism, ‘As a man thinketh in his heart so is he,’ not only embraces the whole of a man’s being, but is so comprehensive as to reach out to every condition and circumstance of his life. A man is literally what he thinks, his character being the complete sum of all his thoughts.”

Man Contemplating: As a Man Thinketh“As the plant springs from, and could not be without, the seed, so every act of a man springs from the hidden seeds of thought, and could not have appeared without them. This applies equally to those acts called “spontaneous” and “unpremeditated” as to those which are deliberately executed.

“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 we are
By thought we wrought and built. If a man’s mind
Hath evil thoughts, pain comes on him as comes
The wheel the ox behind . . . If one endure in purity
of thought joy follows him as his own shadow – sure.

“Man is a growth by law, and not a creation by artifice.  Cause and effect is as absolute and undeviating in the hidden realm of thought as in the world of visible and material things.”

These words from the book, As A Man Thinketh by James Allen describe the amazing power of thought and the human word.  It describes how the mind creates … based on the thoughts that it is fed.  To insure your mental creations are positive, all you need to do is to keep your thoughts on a positive track.
