Recently, we’ve been inspired by the wisdom in James Allen’s classic text “As a Man Thinketh.” This insightful volume likens a person’s mind to a garden, emphasizing that our thoughts and actions are profoundly shaped by how we “tend” to them. This metaphorical framing helps us ask important questions of ourselves.
Are we letting our thoughts run wild? Or are we cultivating “right and useful” thoughts? Does how we manage our minds give us the ability to persist, or is it keeping us from moving forward?
