James Allen, born in Leicester, England in 1864 put it forward in simple and well-thought lines:

“We do not attract what we want, but what we are. Only by changing your thoughts will you change your life.”

We ARE the sum of our thoughts. In other words: noble thoughts make a noble person, negative thoughts hammer out a miserable one. To a person mired in negativity, the world looks as if it is made of confusion and fear.

Each set of circumstances, however bad, offers a unique opportunity for growth. If all circumstances always determined the life and prospects of people, then humanity would never have progressed. In fact, circumstances seem to be designed to bring out the best in us. This can only happen, if we decide not to be “wronged” in life but to begin a conscious effor to grow out of any negativity-structure and enter daily and consciously into a state of being in the “now”.

Biographers know that a person’s early life and its conditions are often the greatest gift  to an individual and Allen puts it forward bluntly, when he writes, that there is noone else to blame for our present condition except ourselves. How about changing our expertise from an array of fearsomeness and of limitations to being a connoisseur of what is possible and that all possibilites are in the center of our personal thinking, our personal visualising and our personal “doing creation” from moment to moment.

If you might encounter trouble while going through the process of  “creating your personal self”, don’t hesitate to call me.

Have a great Monday,
