As a Man Thinketh

Lots of ideas worth pondering and adopting…

*** You will become as small as your controlling desire, as great as your dominant aspiration.

*** A man is literally what he thinks, his character being the complete sum of all his thoughts.

*** A MAN’s mind may be likened to a garden, which may be intelligently cultivated or allowed to run wild; but whether cultivated or neglected, it must, and will, bring forth. If no useful seeds are put into it, then an abundance of useless weed seeds will fall therein, and will continue to produce their kind.

*** the outer conditions of a person’s life will always be found to be harmoniously related to his inner state. This does not mean that a man’s circumstances at any given time are an indication of his entire character, but that those circumstances are so intimately connected with some vital thought element within himself that, for the time being, they are indispensable to his development.

*** Circumstance does not make the man; it reveals him to himself.

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

*** Men imagine that thought can be kept secret, but it cannot; it rapidly crystallizes into habit, and habit solidifies into circumstance.

*** A man cannot directly choose his circumstances, but he can choose his thoughts, and so indirectly, yet surely, shape his circumstances.

*** He who lives constantly in the conception of noble and lofty thoughts, who dwells upon all that is pure and unselfish, will, as surely as the sun reaches its zenith and the moon its full, become wise and noble in character, and rise into a position of influence and blessedness.

*** All achievements, whether in the business, intellectual, or spiritual world, are the result of definitely directed thought, are governed by the same law and are of the same method; the only difference lies in the object of attainment.

*** THE dreamers are the saviors of the world.

*** To desire is to obtain; to aspire is to achieve.

*** Dreams are the seedlings of realities.

*** You cannot travel within and stand still without.

*** Into your hands will be placed the exact results of your own thoughts;

*** You will become as small as your controlling desire, as great as your dominant aspiration.
