  • “Circumstances do not make the man, they reveal him.”
  • “All that a man achieves and all that he fails to achieve is the direct result of his own thoughts”
  • “Work joyfully and peacefully, knowing that right thoughts and right efforts will inevitably bring about right results.”
  • “The outer conditions of a person’s life will always be found to reflect their inner beliefs”

-James Allen (1855-1942)

The top one caught my attention. Did you “get dealt a bad hand” in life? When people don’t take responsibility for their lives they “hand the reins” over to someone or something else – giving up the naturally good feeling of being in control… sure they’re easy to make fun of, granted such external insults determine their internal state of happyness, but the complaining or their nonacceptance of “what is” becomes common ground. The first point seriously forced me to grow within in order to produce the circumstances I wanted – love those fundamental truths.
