Author of your fate?

How unfortunate that so many of us place limits on our own capacity. The pattern of our lives becomes like the line of a stream as it makes it's aimless path through obstacles and substances that act upon it to move it to and fro, such that when we look back we see an incoherent journey to which we felt compelled beyond forces of our own volition. Perhaps to the point where we adopt a sort of helplessness, that at times leads to hopelessness, then idleness, and finally on to a type of “entitlement” mentality that has the individual looking to some external authority or source to provide at first his means...and then his happiness. Each of us have within us the author that writes our own fate...it is our thoughts. Or rather our thoughts are the germinating seed that grows into whatever we go on to realize in our physical lives. I commend to you a small book. It is on-line and completely FREE. "As a Man Thinketh" by James Allen.
