As a Man Thinketh

by James Allen

Man is buffeted by circumstances so long as he believes himself to be the creature of outside conditions, but when he realizes that he is a creative power, and that he may command the hidden soil and seeds of his being out of which circumstances grow, he then becomes the rightful master of himself.

This quote sums up the whole book. Fix your thoughts and fix your life. One problem, it is simplistic. People have medical problems, physical problems. These require other steps. I am not throwing out the baby with the bathwater, but to make it so black and white is wrong.
