Morning and evening thoughts, 1908. By James Allen.
Twenty-Second Morning
Cherish your visions; cherish your ideals; cherish the music that stirs in your heart, the beauty that forms in your mind, the Loveliness that drapes your purest thoughts, for out of them will grow all delightful conditions, all heavenly environment; of these, if you will remain true to them, your world will at last be built.
Guard well thy mind, and, noble, strong, and free,
Nothing shall harm, disturb or conquer thee;
For all thy foes are in thy heart and mind,
There also thy salvation thou shalt find.
Twenty-Second Evening
Dream lofty dreams, and as you dream so shall you become. Your vision is the promise of hat you shall one day be; your Ideal is the prophecy of what you shall at last unveil.
The greatest achievement was at first and for a time a dream. The oak sleeps in the acorn; the bird waits in the egg; and in the highest vision of the soul a waking angel stirs.
Your circumstances may be uncongenial, but they shall not long remain so when you perceive an Ideal and strive to reach it.
In 1908, James Allen published "Morning and Evening Thoughts" which consists of short inspirational writings to be read over a period of 31 days. Due to the age, this text is considered public domain and can be copied and shared freely. For each day in March, I will post his morning and evening thoughts along with my own commentary. The intention is to mold my mind and spirit, focusing on positive thinking. Please feel free to follow along with me now or later and post your own comments attached to each post.
