An Inspirational Poem

Mind is the master power that molds and makes,
And we are Mind, and evermore we take
The tool of thought, and shaping what we will,
Bring forth a thousand joys, a thousand ills,
We think in secret, and it comes to pass -
Our world is but our looking glass.
-- James Allen

This short and inspiring poem contains a world of wisdom within its few short sentences. It serves as a powerful reminder or idea that we are what our thoughts made of. What we consistently and persistently think, be it good or bad, sooner or later, our thoughts will manifest into reality.

It's a wake-up call for me to learn to watch my own thinking instead of letting aimlessness always taking over. By redirecting my negative thoughts to more pleasant thoughts, I would usually experience quite a quick shift in my emotions, too. I hope that this poem would encourage you in cultivating courageous, good and beautiful thoughts, just as it inspires me.
