As A Man Thinketh

[Guest guest]

Achievement, of whatever kind, is the crown of effort, the diadem of

thought. By the aid of self-control, resolution, purity,

righteousness, and well-directed thoughts a man ascends; by the aid

of animality, indolence, impurity, corruption, and confusion of

thought, a man descends.

 

A man may rise to high success in the world and even to lofty

attitudes in the spiritual realm, and again des end into weakness and

wretchedness by allowing arrogant, selfish, and corrupt thoughts to

possession of him.

 

Victories attained by right thought can only be maintained by

watchfulness. Many give way when success is assured, and rapidly fall

back into failure.

 

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 objet of attainment.

 

He who would accomplish little must sacrifice little; he who would

achieve much must sacrifice much; he who would attain highly must

sacrifice greatly.
