“When he realizes that he is a creative power, and that he may command the hidden soil and seeds of his being out of which circumstances grow; he then becomes the rightful master of himself.” As A Man Thinketh

What keeps us from attempting greater things, from reaching for the brass ring in our life? What makes us take that great idea that could make our family financially secure and bury it underneath a lot of reasons why it’d never work? What stops us from that career change that would result in working in a profession we could really enjoy, could get passionate about?

There’s only one thing that EVER stops us from forward momentum – “the false belief that there is a power or powers outside you greater than the power within you.”

The magic is in YOU! Once we realize that we can create our circumstances, then, and only then, are we truly the master of our life and our destiny.

Regardless of your particular spiritual beliefs, you may find these words from the Gospel of John very enlightening,

“He that believeth on me, the works that I do, shall he do also; and greater works than these shall he do.”

That shows that God has already “endowed“ us with the power to do amazing things; far more amazing than most of us will ever attempt. If we would only understand and BELIEVE that the power is within, not without. This is worth thinking about
