"All that a man achieves and that he fails to achieve is the direct result of his own thoughts...His condition is his own, and not another man's. His suffering and his happiness are evolved from within. As he thinks, so he is; as he continues to think, so he remains."- This is an excerpt from one of the best all-time classic inspirational books As a Man Thinketh.
James Allen deeply stresses the importance of positive thinking, and how it has an effect on one's character. Good thoughts and actions can never produce bad results. Think about that. If one can stay true to that principle, negative thoughts could never take over his mental frame of mind, for his positiveness would have already repelled the negativity away, long before it had a chance to damage his character.
We as humans understand this law in the natural world. Nothing can come from corn, but corn. When a cow gives birth, another cow comes out. Yet we struggle with it in the mental and moral world. When we are negative, we generate negativity all around us. This effects not only ourselves, but others. It has a ripple effect. This results in one way or another to us suffering. Flip this entirely around and you have a recipe for joy and happiness. Choose today to let your positivity repel all thoughts and temptations of negativity.
