AS A MAN THINKETH JAMES ALLEN
504 only recognize failure as one of the pathways to attainment;
505 who make all conditions serve them, and who think strongly,
506 attempt fearlessly, and accomplish masterfully.
507 Having conceived of his purpose, a man should mentally
508 mark out a straight pathway to its achievement, looking
509 neither to the right nor to the left. Doubts and fears should
510 be rigorously excluded; they are disintegrating elements
511 which break up the straight line of effort, rendering it
512 crooked, ineffectual, useless.
513 Thoughts of doubt and fear never accomplish anything, and
514 never can. They always lead to failure. Purpose, energy,
515 power to do, and all strong thoughts cease when doubt and
516 fear creep in.
517 The will to do springs from the knowledge that we can do.
518 Doubt and fear are the great enemies of knowledge, and he
519 who encourages them, who does not slay them, thwarts
520 himself at every step.
