As A Man Thinketh

[Guest guest]

That circumstances grow out of thought every man knows who has for any

length of time practised self-control and self-purification, for he

will have noticed that the alteration in his circumstances has been in

exact ratio with his altered mental condition. So true is this that

when a man earnestly applies himself to remedy the defects in his

character, and makes swift and marked progress, he passes rapidly

through a succession of vicissitudes.

 

The soul attracts that which it secretly harbours; that which it

lovfes, and also that which it fears; it reaches the height of its

cherished aspirations; it falls to the level of its unchastened

desires, - and circumstances are the means by which the soul receives

its own.

 

Every thought-seed sown or allowed to fall into the mind, and to take

root there, produces its own, blossoming sooner or later into act, and

bearing its own fruitage or opportunity and circumstance-Good thoughts

bear good fruit, bad thoughts bad fruit.
