Morning and evening thoughts, 1908. By James Allen.
Twenty-Eighth Morning
There is no difficulty, however great, but will yield before a calm and powerful concentration of thought, and no legitimate object but may be speedily actualized by the intelligent use and direction of one’s soul forces.
Whatever your task may be, concentrate your whole mind upon it; throw into it all the energy of which you are capable. The faultless completion of small tasks, leads inevitably to larger tasks. See to it that you rise by steady climbing, and you will never fall.
Twenty-Eighth Evening
He who knows that Love is at the heart of all things, and has realized the all-sufficing power of that Love, has no room in his heart for condemnation.
If you love people and speak of them with praise, until they in some way thwart you, or do something of which you disapprove, and then you dislike them and speak of them with dispraise, you are not governed by the Love which is of God.
If, in your heart, you are continually arraigning and condemning others, selfless love is hidden from you. Train your mind in strong, impartial, and gentle thought; train your heart in purity and compassion; train your tongue to silence, and to true and stainless speech; so shall you enter the way of holiness and peace, and shall ultimately realize the immortal Love.
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.
