As a Man Thinketh . . . by George Tsoukalas
Translations available in: English (original) | French | Spanish | Italian | German | Portuguese | Swedish | Russian | Dutch | Arabic

Have you heard of the book "As a Man Thinketh"? This book is a must read. The impact it could have on your life can be exceptional. To quote the book, "By the right choice and true application of thought, man ascends to the Divine Perfection; by the abuse and wrong application of thought, he descends below the level of the beast." Our thoughts truly are what create all the outcomes in our lives. I would really recommend you read this book. It has a powerful message.

To quote James Allen once again in his wonderful book, "As a man thinketh in his heart, so is he...A man is literally what he thinks, his character being the complete sum of all his thoughts." I believe that our characters determine our life's destiny. If our current way of thinking is not assisting us in living happier, successful lives, we have to change our thinking to change the direction of our destiny.



What do Our Thoughts Create?
We will without a doubt become the sum total of all our thoughts. Any negative thinking, whether it be thoughts of hate, ridicule, deceit, worry, harmfulness, vengeance or hopelessness, we are but dooming ourselves to experience the reality that those thoughts create and will eventually manifest those negative results in our lives. Shaping our destiny in this way is useless for anyone involved. On the other hand, thinking well about people, seeing the good in a situation, being curious instead of judgmental with those that do not share the same beliefs as us, thinking calming thoughts of grace, love and gratitude will help manifest a destiny worth living for.

We cannot escape the fact that we become what we think about. As we think, we mould and create habits that are evident to our exterior environment and continually shape our destiny. Being that we all have both positive and negative habit patterns of thought, we need to release the negative thoughts and replace them with positive thoughts. Think of this as a scale. As you add more positive thoughts, the scale tips to the positive end. The more and more positive thoughts that accumulate, the farther away from the negative you get. As you continue to release and replace your negative thinking with positive thinking, you will create a better way of thinking consciously, which will then also become a subconscious habit.

Evaluate the difference for yourself. When you are thinking negatively about a situation, yourself or even others, how does that make you feel. Do you feel good inside, or do you feel angry, stressed, worried and disgusted? I doubt you get a good feeling from it, and I believe that those negative feelings keep stacking up and eventually become your reality.


Can We Control Our Thoughts?
If you think you may need to change your thinking, I have good news. We can control our thoughts. We generate them, so we can change them. Begin today by challenging yourself to see the good in a situation. Be curious, loving, compassionate, understanding, forgiving, caring and kind as much as you can. If someone has done wrong to you, handle it gracefully and intelligently without damaging your integrity. They do not realize that they are damaging their integrity. Don't let it damage yours as well.

What I want you to get from all this is that the thoughts we think lead to our ultimate destiny. The quality of the life we live each day until we exit from this world is determined by our thoughts. I know that I don't want to look back in my life and have regrets that I didn't control my thoughts and thus have many should have's and could have's because it will then be too late to do anything but live in regret. Be good to yourself and others and I believe you will experience a life worth looking back on and being proud of. It all begins with the thoughts we choose to think. Lets choose intelligently.
