THE CLASSIC BOOK 'AS A MAN THINKETH'
( BY JAMES ALLEN - PART TWO)
Submitter's Note:
I have been learning and studying the 'workings' of the human mind, the 'last unexplored continent', for much of my life. In sharing the contents, the clearly explained principles of James Allen's classic and inspirational work, I learn a lot and even get inspired by the author's words of wisdom. I hope that you may be too... in whatever endeavour of life you may choose.

This book pointing to a better life for ALL, will help you transform your thoughts into concrete actions that will result in the achievement of anything that you deeply desire in your heart:
"As a Man Thinketh is written for all those seeking wisdom and tranquility in a turbulent, complex world."
- James Allen
# Chapter Four: THOUGHT AND PURPOSE
"Until thought is linked with PURPOSE there is no intelligent accomplishment. With the majority the barque (bark) of thought is allowed to 'drift' upon the ocean of life. Aimlessness is a vice, and such drifting must not continue for him who would steer clear of catastrophe and destruction."
"They who have no central purpose in their life fall an easy prey to worries, fears, troubles, and self-pityings, all of which are indications of weakness, which lead, just as surely as deliberately planned sins (though by a different route), to failure, unhappiness, and loss, for weakness cannot persist in a power-evolving universe.
The weakest soul, knowing its own weakness, and believing this truth - that strength can only be developed by effort and practice, will at once begin to exert itself, and adding effort to effort, patience to patience, and strength to strength, will never cease to develop, and will at last grow divinely strong.
Purpose, energy, power to do, and all strong thoughts cease when doubt and fear creep in....
Thought allied fearlessly to purpose becomes creative force."

# Chapter Five: THE THOUGHT FACTOR IN ACHIEVEMENT
Your thoughts are the most powerful thing you have.
All that a man achieves and all that he fails to achieve is the direct result of his own thoughts.
A man can only rise, conquer, and achieve by lifting up his thoughts. He can only remain weak, and abject, and miserable by refusing to lift up his thoughts, thoughts which he CHOOSES.
"The spark to ignite a creative force is confident purposeful thought.
For this force to burst into burning flame, positive ACTION is essential.
Confident purposeful thought is the spark that ignites a creative force."
-Dr Andy Eastcott (Gisborne, New Zealand)
We are "authors of our own destinies"; so be the master of your own destiny..
Think good healthy positive thoughts
Do good
Get good.
Give to others (as well of yourself), laugh and have some fun along the way

The Special Person You Were Meant to Be
"If you can value truth above approval, and friendship over power,
wealth, or fame,
If you can share your gifts wisely, leaving someone better off than
when you came,
If you find happiness, simple pleasures, and see the rainbow,
not the falling rain ,
If you have faith to keep on believing in miracles that no one
can explain,
If you live every day to your potential and find the goal in everything
you see,
Then you'll be, not just happy and successful, but the person only you were meant to be."
