Shaminder Pal Singh's Key Ideas from As a Man Thinketh
by James Allen

The outer world of circumstances shadows itself to the inner world of thought.

Both pleasant and unpleasant external conditions are factors which make for the ultimate good of the individual.

One doesn't attract that which they want but that which they are.

All your past experiences, good and bad, were the equitable result of your evolving, yet unevolved self.

One must stop complaining about their problems and start introspecting as to what caused them.

You cannot choose your circumstances directly but you can choose your thoughts and indirectly shape your circumstances

Until thought is liked with purpose there is no intelligent accomplishment.

One must align their thoughts fearlessly with their purpose.

After conceiving of your purpose, you must mentally mark out a straight pathway to its achievement, ignoring all doubts and fears.

Dream lofty dreams, and as you dream, so shall you become.

You will become as small as your controlling desire; as great as your dominant aspiration.

People don't see the long and hard journey but only the pleasant goal and call it "luck"

They don't understand the process but only perceive the results and call it "chance"

The calmer a man becomes, the greater is his success, his influence and his power for good.

Self control is strength.

Right Thought is mastery.

Calmness is power.
