Making your dreams your reality Current mood: awake Category: Life "You may not like the current condition of your life, but it will quickly change if you strive to achieve your ideals. You simply can't grow within and stand still without. Imagine a young person worn down by poverty and hard labor. She works long hours in a factory and hasn't been taught to read or right. She dreams of better things - of learning, intelligence, beauty, and life of ease. This vision of a more fulfilling existence empowers her and drives her to action. She focuses her free time and limited resources on the development of her hidden powers. In a short time, she has so altered her character through positive thinking that she can no longer work in the factory. This menial work clashes with her new mentality, and with the ease of trowing a coat aside, she leaves it behind forever as new doors open that harmonize with her expanding consciousness. Years later, this same woman is now the master of her mind's forces. She wields her thoughts with great influence and power. She speaks, and lives are changed. Men and women hang upon her words and remold their characters. Like the sun, she becomes the fixed and luminous center around which the lives of many people evolve. She has turned her youthful dream into reality - she has become one with her ideal. You'll also realize the vision of your heart, be it humble or beautiful or a mixture of both. You'll always gravitate toward that which you love the most, even if it's kept secret. Your life will be the exact result of your thoughts, and you'll receive what you earn - no more and no less. Whatever your present conditions may be, you'll fall, remain, or rise in accordance with your thoughts, visions, and ideals. You'll become as small as your most primitive desire and as great as your most grand hope. Eventually you'll walk through doors that have always seem close to you. You'll enter the office of your mentor and he will say, "I have nothing more to teach you." You will have become the master of your thoughts, who so recently dreamed the great vision that is now your life." As a Man Thinketh.
