The Power of Thought

The power of thought as Emerson says is a spiritual power. It is the greatest power that man has at his disposal. The world today is in its present state simply as a result of mankind's collective thinking; each nation is in its present state of either peace and prosperity or poverty murder and anarchy simply as a result of its thinking as a nation; and each individual is what he is and his life is what it is and his circumstances are what they are simply as results of his thoughts. What a man thinks he becomes; what a man thinks is the mainspring of all his actions; what a man thinks attracts to him his circumstances and environment; what a man thinks determines what type of friends and companions will gather around him; what a man thinks decides whether he shall be happy or miserable successful or unsuccessful healthy or unhealthy prosperous or poverty-stricken hated or loved. What a man thinks either builds character or pulls it down. What a man thinks can overcome fate or strengthen it can bring him into alignment with his glorious destiny or make him an outcast and a wanderer in desert places. Indeed there is no limit to the power of thought because it is a spiritual power of intense potency.
