Effect of Thought On Circumstances
By pursuing this process, a man sooner or later discovers that he is the master-
gardener of his soul, the director of his life. he also reveals, within himself, the
laws of thought, and understands, with ever-increasing accuracy, how the
thought-forces and mind-elements operate in the shaping of his character,
circumstances, and destiny.
Thought and character are one,
and as character can only manifest
and discover itself through
environment and circumstance, the
outer conditions of a person's life
will always be found to be
harmoniously related to his inner
state. This does not mean that a
man's circumstances at any given
time are an indication of his entire
character, but that those
circumstances are so intimately
connected with some vital
thought-element within him that,
for the time being, they are
indispensable to his development.
Every man is where he is by the law of his being; the thoughts which he has built into his
character have brought him there, and in the arrangement of his life there is no element
of chance, but all is the result of a law which cannot err. This is just as true of those who
feel "out of harmony" with their surroundings as of those who are contented with them.
As the progressive and evolving being,
man is where he is that he may learn that
he may grow; and as he learns the
spiritual lesson which any circumstance
contains for him, it passes away and gives
place to other circumstances.
