This is an incredible, life-changing book! The writing style may seem ancient, but the message is as timely today as ever. Here lies the secret to success in all areas of our lives.
As A Man Thinketh
“You will become as small as your controlling desire; as great as your dominant aspiration.
The thoughtless, the ignorant, and the indolent, seeing only the apparent effects of things and not the things themselves, talk of luck, of fortune, and chance. Seeing a man grow rich, they say, “How lucky he is!”
Observing another become intellectual, they exclaim, “How highly favored he is!” And noting the saintly character and wide influence of another, the remark, “How chance aids him at every turn!” They do not see the trials and failures and struggles which these men have voluntarily encountered in order to gain their experience; have no knowledge of the sacrifices they have made, of the undaunted efforts they have put forth, of the faith they have exercised, that they might overcome the apparently insurmountable, and realize the Vision of their heart.
They do not know the darkness and the heartaches; they only see the light and joy, and call it “luck”; do not see the long and arduous journey, but only behold the pleasant goal, and call it “good fortune”; do not understand the process, but only perceive the result, and call it “chance.”
In all human affairs there are efforts, and there are results, and the strength of the effort is the measure of the result.
Chance is not. “Gifts,” powers, material, intellectual, and spiritual possessions are the fruits of effort; they are thoughts completed, objects accomplished, visions realized.
The Vision that you glorify in your mind, the Ideal that you enthrone in your heart – this you will build your life by, this you will become.”
You can’t study the timeless message in this book, often enough. Intellectually, you may know that there is truth in the Author’s words, but it is only by practicing–and constantly holding the vision of what you want–and coming back to it when you forget, that you can realize your dreams.
The second step, as we learn in As a Man Thinketh, is taking the action steps that will lead to your desired results. The purpose of hypnosis and self-hypnosis is to imprint the image of the life you are desiring, in your subconscious mind, so that your new action steps will be easy and effortless.
Finally, the passage talks about faith. Have faith that your heart’s desire is being realized. You can do this!
