The Seedling

Men are anxious to improve their circumstances, but are unwilling to improve themselves; they therefore remain bound. The man who does not shrink from self-crucifixion can never fail to accomplish the object upon which his heart is set. This is as true of earthly as of heavenly things. Even the man whose sole object is to acquire wealth must be prepared to make great personal sacrifices before he can accomplish his object; and how much more he who would realize a strong and well-poised life?

In this paragraph, James Allen helps us understand that to the extent we remain fixed in our thinking, to the extent that we cling to our victim story, we are tied fast to the cause of our results and choose to remain that way.

Are there areas of your life in which you feel bound hand and foot? If the cords you are bound with are the product of your habitual way of thinking, what new thought can you embrace to break them?
