Personal Development: Act Is The Blossom of Thought

Anybody who is anybody in the personal development world tip their hat to James Allen and "As A Man Thinketh."

"Beyond the New Testament, the Old Testament and other books documenting the beliefs of the greatest religions of the world, there is one little book that impacted my life dramatically during my formative teenage years. The book is As A Man Thinketh, the most widely acclaimed...book written by James Allen, who might be likened to the Norman Vincent Peale or Earl Nightingale of the late 1800's."
Denis Waitley, author of The Psychology of Winning, the best selling audio program in the world.


From As A Man Thinketh by James Allen:

"Act is the blossom of thought, and joy and suffering are its fruits; thus does a man garner in the sweet and bitter fruitage of his own husbandry.

'Thought in the mind hath made us,
What we are By thought was wrought and built.
If a man's mind Hath evil thoughts,
Pain comes on him
As comes the wheel the ox behind....
If one endure
In purity of thought, joy follows him
As his own shadow – sure.' "
