James Allen, author of As a Man Thinketh, is one of my favorite inspirational writers. He was a British philosophical writer who lived from 1864-1912. He is perhaps one we can credit for the modern self-help movement. I certainly credit him for many of my thoughts on “well-centered fitness.” In this post, I share some of his most inspirational quotes.
“A man is literally what he thinks, his character being the complete sum of all his thoughts.”
“The outer conditions of a person’s life will always be found to be harmoniously related to his inner state… Men do not attract that which they want, but that which they are.”
“Dream lofty dreams, and as you dream, so shall you become. Your vision is the promise of what you shall one day be; your ideal is the prophecy of what you shall at last unveil.”
“The greatest achievement was at first and for a time a dream. The oak sleeps in the acorn, the bird waits in the egg, and in the highest vision of the soul, a waking angel stirs. Dreams are the seedlings of realities.”
“The vision that you glorify in your mind, the ideal that you enthrone in your heart – this you will build your life by, and this you will become.”
“Calmness of mind is one of the beautiful jewels of wisdom. It is the result of long and patient effort in self-control. Its presence is an indication of ripened experience and of a more than ordinary knowledge of the laws and operations of thought.”
Feel free to reflect and meditate on these as you seek to….
Be your best today; be better tomorrow.
