Suffering is always the effect of wrong thought in some direction. It is an indication that the individual is out of harmony with himself, with the Law of his being.
James Allen
Image
As the physically weak man can make himself strong by careful and patient training, so the man of weak thoughts can make them strong by exercising himself in right thinking.
James Allen

Harmony is one phase of the law whose spiritual expression is love.
James Allen

The very fact that you are a complainer, shows that you deserve your lot.
James Allen
Image
There can be no progress nor achievement without sacrifice, and a man's worldly success will be by the measure that he sacrifices his confused animal thoughts, and fixes his mind on the development of his plans, and the strengthening of his resolution and self-reliance.
James Allen
Image
All that you accomplish or fail to accomplish with your life is the direct result of your thoughts.
James Allen
Image

Image
No man is hindered by another he is only hindered by himself. No man suffers because of another he suffers only because of himself.
James Allen
Image
Good thoughts and actions can never produce bad results bad thoughts and actions can never produce good results … We understand this law in the natural world, and work with it but few understand it in the mental and moral world—although its operation there is just as simple and undeviating— and they, therefore, do not cooperate with it.
James Allen
Image
The greatest achievement was at first and for a time a dream. The oak sleeps in the acorn, the bird waits in the egg, and in the highest vision of the soul a waking angel stirs. Dreams are the seedlings of realities.
James Allen
Image
When mental energy is allowed to follow the line of least resistance and to fall into easy channels, it is called weakness.
James Allen
Image
The man who cannot endure to have his errors and shortcomings brought to the surface and made known, but tries to hide them, is unfit to walk the highway of truth.
James Allen
Image
A strong man cannot help a weaker unless the weaker is willing to be helped, and even then the weak man must become strong of himself he must, by his own efforts, develop the strength which he admires in another. None but himself can alter his condition.
James Allen
Image
They who have no central purpose in their life fall an easy prey to petty worries, fears, troubles, and self-pitying, all of which are indications of weakness, which lead, just as surely as deliberately planned sins (though by a different route), to failure, unhappiness, and loss, for weakness cannot persist in a power evolving universe.

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.
