As a Man Thinketh

by James Allen

Bestial thoughts crystallize into habits of drunkenness and sensuality, which solidify into circumstances of destitution and disease. •Impure thoughts of every kind crystallize into enervating and confusing habits, which solidify into distracting and adverse circumstances. •Thoughts of fear, doubt and indecision crystallize into weak, unmanly and irresolute habits, which solidify into circumstances of failure, indigence and slavish dependence. •Lazy thoughts crystallize into habits of uncleanliness and dishonesty, which solidify into circumstances of foulness and beggary (poverty). •Hateful and condemnatory thoughts crystallize into habits of accusation and violence, which solidify into circumstances of injury and persecution. •Selfish thoughts of all kinds crystallize into habits of self-seeking, which solidify into circumstances more or less distressing.
