As a Man Thinketh

On my flight from SLC to OAK I read James Allen’s As a Man Thinketh. It’s over 100 years old, but I found it very timely and inspirational.

“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.

By the aid of self-control, resolution, purity, righteousness, and well-directed thought a man ascends.

Because the text is in the public domain, it can be read entirely online. Good read.
