These lines are just wow! One of the big reason why I now spend less time in Facebook and more here, is that there are people like you who spread the positivity and value. I feel surrounded by creative people, who create opportunities for all.
Other part of the excerpt makes total sense. Although it matters what we eat, but whatever we eat we guided by our thoughts only. We eat healthy food because our mind knows what the healthy is.
God bless!
I was pretty impressed too. I went back and read them again after I read your comment and found myself very moved by their profundity.
I feel flattered and glad as well that my comment made you read the excerpt again. Keep posting. God bless!
@jamesallen,
There are no evil in the universe, the evil is in the mind... yeah that's why Lord Buddha introduced meditation to his followers.
Mind : "Lives alone, can be go anyway where in a second, can't control easily"
So lord Buddha introduced meditation to control this uncontrollable mind.
Thanks for sharing this nice quote of the day. Really appreciate your effort!
Cheers~
Thank you, sir. :-)
It is a man's own mind, not his enemy or foe, that lures him to evil ways.
May all our minds be focused on good and pure thoughts.
Upvoted!!
Yeah! I like it. :-D
Mental Fortitude I think is heavily intertwined with someones physical state as the mind is what works the body and while you learn and grow stronger from your physical toil this intern increases your mental faculties. Your mind is the point of greatest power.
Another great excerpt @jamesallen! :)
He was an eloquent and poetic writer.
@jamesallen - This is true sir. Evil lives in our mind, comes out with our words and activities.
Great post sir.
+W+
Lovely to have you here in my humble corner of Steemit.
the biggest evil you have to defeat is your mind evil. if you can transform that evil to god then you will be the most enthusiastic person in the world. nice thoughts my friend
Thanks for sharing them.
Amazing post again!
I'm always excited to post the thoughts of James Allen.
Ahh "psychic atmosphere" i have tried to find ways to describe that exact feelings...
It is a good phrase.
the mind is a strong things but also very tricky.
The ego is always keen to deceive. I've heard it described as multiple personalities. We are all the sum of many personas. Not all of them are working for our good.
