@jerrybanfield I'm happy you're one to appreciate this stuff! Here's another essential reading I highly recommend. It's a short treatise by James Allen titled "As A Man Thinketh" published in 1903. Here's a link to it:

This little volume (the result of meditation and experience) is not intended as an exhaustive treatise on the much-written upon subject of the power of thought. It is suggestive rather than explanatory, its object being to stimulate men and women to the discovery and perception of the truth that -

by virtue of the thoughts which they choose and encourage; that mind is the master weaver, both of the inner garment of character and the outer garment of circumstance, and that, as they may have hitherto woven in ignorance and pain they may now weave in enlightenment and happiness.

-James Allen
