AS A MAN THINKETH JAMES ALLEN
129 That circumstances grow out of thought every man knows
130 who has for any length of time practiced self-control and self-
131 purification, for he will have noticed that the alteration in his
132 circumstances has been in exact ratio with his altered mental
133 condition. So true is this that when a man earnestly applies
134 himself to remedy the defects in his character, and makes
135 swift and marked progress, he passes rapidly through a
136 succession of vicissitudes.
137 The soul attracts that which it secretly harbors; that which it
138 loves, and also that which it fears; it reaches the height of its
139 cherished aspirations; it falls to the level of its unchastened
140 desires; and circumstances are the means by which the soul
141 receives its own.
142 Every thought-seed sown or allowed to fall into the mind, and
143 to take root there, produces its own, blossoming sooner or
144 later into act, and bearing its own fruitage of opportunity and
145 circumstances. Good thoughts bear good fruit, bad thoughts
146 bad fruit.
