The Seedling

Man is always the master, even in his weakest and most abandoned state; but in his weakness and degradation he is the foolish master who misgoverns his household. When he begins to reflect upon his condition, and to search diligently for the Law upon which his being is established, he then becomes the wise master, directing his energies with intelligence, and fashioning his thoughts to fruitful issues. Such is the conscious master, and man can only thus become by discovering within himself the laws of thought; which discovery is totally a matter of application, self-analysis, and experience.

In this paragraph from As a Man Thinketh, James Allen helps us to understand that each of us is truly in the driver’s seat of our lives. Our hands are each on our own steering wheel, and that steering wheel is our thoughts. When we fully comprehend that no one can think for us, we see that we cannot delegate our responsibility for our results. But once we get this, we can begin to steer much better, in the direction that we intentionally choose.

What do you want to create with your life? What new direction can you begin to take to get there?
