Description

"Mind is the Master power that molds and makes,

And Man is Mind, and evermore he takes

The tool of Thought, and, shaping what he wills,

Brings forth a thousand joys, a thousand ills;

He thinks in secret and it comes to pass:

Environment is but his looking glass."

From James Allen's "As a Man Thinketh," I would suggest that the mind is a powerful thing. If you allow your mind to wander into the path of least resistance, and think about bad things, eventually bad things will manifest themselves in your life. Likewise, if you push yourself to think good things, eventually good things will happen to you. When you think about something, even a little at a time, you begin to attract that circumstance to you. Moreover, once you cultivate a thought, you eventually act on it, and that effects your outward circumstances. In essence, your thoughts are the stepping stones to your success.
