As A Man Thinketh Book study

A person’s mind may be likened to a garden, which may be intelligently cultivated or allowed to run wild; but whether cultivated or neglected, it must, and will, bring forth.”
I hope you understand the full significance of this statement. This comes from one of my favorite works of all time, a small book by a man named James Allen. This book may be small but it is in the top 5 books that have had the greatest impact on my life and my results. The title of the book is As a Man Thinketh.
Now, when I first learned about this concept that I was a creative being, that I was responsible for everything in my life, I didn’t really know HOW to take responsibility and how to create… Sure, I had been creating all my life, but I had been creating unconsciously, not really knowing what I was doing to be the causative force in my own life. And as a result, up until that time, my life didn’t look the way I wanted it to look. But nonetheless, I was the creator of it.
If you don’t know how to take control of the garden of your mind, how to create the results that you desire, then find someone who does, and learn from them. Study them. Do exactly what they tell you to do. And your life will change. But you must take action.
And the action is what I am leading you to take now and here.

As A Man Thinketh Foreword'For as he thinketh in his heart, so is he...' (Proverbs 23:7)
Allen was a businessman turned philosopher, whose third and most popular book - and the subject of this lesson - cemented his place among the leading authors of the inspirational and self-help genres. Self-help books fall into the nonfiction genre and offer readers the opportunity to work toward personal goals on their own.
Since Allen broke down his writings on how your thoughts shape your life into seven distinctive chapters, let's do the same here. We'll summarize each chapter's main thoughts and provide a quote that is representative of its concept.
