The Seedling

Only by much searching and mining are gold and diamonds obtained, and man can find every truth connected with his being if he will dig deep into the mine of his soul; and that he is the maker of his character, the molder of his life, and the builder of his destiny, he may unerringly prove, if he will watch, control, and alter his thoughts, tracing their effects upon himself, upon others, and upon his life and circumstances, linking cause and effect by patient practice and investigation, and utilizing his every experience, even to the most trivial, every-day occurrence, as a means of obtaining that knowledge of himself which is Understanding, Wisdom, Power. In this direction, as in no other, is the law absolute that “He that seeketh findeth; and to him that knocketh it shall be opened”; for only by patience, practice, and ceaseless importunity can a man enter the Door of the Temple of Knowledge.

Here James Allen makes clear that you are the gold mine. You are the cavern filled with rough diamonds waiting to be unearthed. It may require considerable effort to find, develop, and reveal the true gems of your own hidden value. But really, this is the purpose for which you were created, and you have the power to bless the earth with what is inside you.

What talents have you been blessed with? What decision can you make today that will help you to develop and begin to reveal that hidden gem in you?
