No more, no less

If you're like me your first thoughts when reading that quote went to the good things you may think you deserve. Did you consider the bad things that you think you deserve as well?

​A quote from "As A Man Thinketh" written by James Allen (1903) says it best: "And you too, youthful reader, will realize the vision (not the idle wish) of your heart, be it base or beautiful, or a mixture of both, for you will always gravitate toward that which you, secretly, most love. Into your hands will be placed the exact results of your own thoughts; you will receive that which you earn; no more; no less. Whatever your present environment may be, you will fall, remain, or rise with your thoughts, your Vision, your Ideal. You will become as small as your controlling desire; as great as your dominant aspiration."

It takes a lot of self discipline to shut off thoughts that don't belong to you. These thoughts are taught to us by other imperfect beings. Deep inside we know inherently that what they are saying is going against how we truly feel about our self. Without realizing what is taking place, we override our soul and become our ego. 

Your mind is your ego's playground. Your ego will do just about anything to remain dominant over your mind. It shouts its demands at you. It is addicted to itself, and your misunderstanding of your soul is what it craves. 

Your soul, on the other hand, quietly beckons to you. Your soul doesn't need centre stage to know its worth. Your soul whispers your desires to you. It is the soul's mission for you to have thoughts that will bring you what you deserve, no more; no less.

The question to ask yourself is: Am I listening to my ego or to my soul? If it is your ego, most likely you will get what you deserve. If it is your soul, most likely you will get what you deserve.

Be the master of right thought and all that you deserve will be yours. <3
