Thoughts aren't secrets

The bubble around our head should be the only thing of concern for us beings. It is the place that you should always be in. Not in a day dreamy kind of way, but in an awareness kind of way.

An excerpt from "As A Man Thinketh" by James Allen (1903): 

"The proof of this truth is in every person, and it therefore admits of easy investigation by systematic introspection and self-analysis. Let a man radically alter his thoughts, and he will be astonished at the rapid transformation it will affect in the material conditions of his life. Men imagine that thought can be kept secret, but it cannot; it rapidly crystallises into habit, and the habit solidifies into circumstance. Bestial thoughts crystallise into habits of drunkenness and sensuality, which solidify into circumstances of destitution and disease; impure thoughts of every kind crystallise into enervating and confusing habits, which solidify into distracting and adverse circumstances: thoughts of fear, doubt, and indecision crystallise into weak, unmanly, and irresolute habits, which solidify into circumstances of failure, indigence, and slavish dependence: lazy thoughts crystallise into habits of uncleanliness and dishonesty, which solidify into circumstances of foulness and beggary: hateful and condemnatory thoughts crystallise into habits of accusation and violence which solidify into circumstances of injury and persecution: selfish thoughts of all kinds crystallise into habits of self-seeking, which solidify into circumstances more or less distressing. On the other hand, beautiful thoughts of all kinds crystallise into habits of grace and kindliness, which solidify into genial and sunny circumstances: pure thoughts crystallise into habits of temperance and self-control, which solidify into circumstances of repose and peace: thoughts of courage, self-reliance, and decision crystallise into manly habits, which solidify into circumstances of success, plenty, and freedom: energetic thoughts crystallise into habits of cleanliness and industry, which solidify into circumstances of pleasantness: gentle and forgiving thoughts crystallise into habits of gentleness, which solidify into protective and preservative circumstances: loving and unselfish thoughts crystallise into habits of self-forgetfulness for others, which solidify into circumstances of sure and abiding prosperity and true riches."
