As the plant springs from, and could not be without, the seed, so every act of man springs from the hidden seeds of thought, and could not have appeared without them. This applies equally to those acts called "spontaneous" and "unpremeditated" as to those which are deliberately executed.
Here James Allen speaks aloud what each of us really knows in our hearts: There is nothing that we do in this life, consciously or not, that does not begin as the seed of a thought in our minds and hearts.
There have probably been many times in your life when you have acted heroically to help someone else, perhaps even in a life or death emergency. There have also probably been many times when you have responded to a disagreeable situation with a flash of anger, or even violence that has hurt someone instead. In either circumstance, those acts-whether heroic or victim-like-stem from the seeds of thoughts and beliefs we have silently nurtured in our hearts, whether we are consciously aware of them or not.
The question now is, which kind of thoughts will you choose to plant and nurture today?
