“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.”<\/p>\n

\"Man<\/a>“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.<\/p>\n

“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.<\/p>\n

\nBy thought we wrought and built. If a man’s mind
\nHath evil thoughts, pain comes on him as comes

“Man is a growth by law, and not a creation by artifice.\u00c2\u00a0 Cause and effect is as absolute and undeviating in the hidden realm of thought as in the world of visible and material things.”<\/p>\n

These words from the book, As A Man Thinketh<\/em> by James Allen describe the amazing power of thought and the human word.\u00c2\u00a0 It describes how the mind creates … based on the thoughts that it is fed.\u00c2\u00a0 To insure your mental creations are positive, all you need to do is to keep your thoughts on a positive track.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
