As a Man Thinketh, Paperback/James Allen
Descriere
Description As a Man Thinketh by James Allen truly holds the key to success. Though this classic has been around since the turn of the century, it seems even more relevant in today's stressful and competitive society. In the words of Allen, "a man is literally what he thinks," or as the saying goes, garbage in, garbage out Or put another way, "All that a man achieves and all that he fails to achieve is the direct result of his own thoughts." We cannot blame others for our lives or state of affairs, they are our own creation, the end product of thoughts and actions. Allen states that man makes or unmakes himself by the thoughts he keeps and cultivates. With regard to fear, Allen says that "Thoughts of doubt and fear never accomplish anything, and never can. They always lead to failure. Purpose, energy, power to do, and all strong thoughts cease when doubt and fear creep in." How profound and how true. How we let fear run our lives - again proving how powerful our thoughts can be. Allen further expounds by saying, "He who has conquered doubt and fear has conquered failure." The garden of our mind is only cultivated by us. What kind of crop we want to consistently yield is solely determined on our positive, enriching, and encouraging thoughts or on our doubting, destructive and negative ones. We alone hold the key to our future, and our success, and our attainments in life. We can either have a feast or a famine - it is only up to us.
