The magic is in YOU!

"When he realizes that he is a creative power, and
that he may command the hidden soil and seeds of
his being out of which circumstances grow; he then
becomes the rightful master of himself."

-- James Allen, As A Man Thinketh

I was reading an old classic the other day, The Message of a Master
by John McDonald, and I was rocked by an incredibly insightful passage:

"The cause of the confusion prevailing in your mind
that weakens your thoughts is the false belief that
there is a power or powers outside you greater than
the power within you."

Stop and think about that. What keeps us from attempting greater things
-- from reaching for the brass ring in our life? What makes us take that
great idea that could make our family financially secure and bury it
underneath a lot of reasons why it’d never work? What stops us from that
career change that would result in working in a profession we could really
enjoy, could get passionate about?

There’s only one thing that EVER stops us from forward momentum and
McDonald nailed it: "the false belief that there is a power or powers
outside you greater than the power within you."

As I once heard a speaker say, "The magic is in YOU!"

As James Allen tells us, once we realize that we can create our circumstances,
then, and only then, are we truly the master of our life and our destiny.

Regardless of your particular spiritual beliefs, you may find these words
from the Gospel of John very enlightening:

"He that believeth on me, the works that I do, shall
he do also; and greater works than these shall he do."

That would indicate to me that we are already "endowed" with the power to do
amazing things -- far more amazing than most of us will ever attempt -- if
we'd only understand and BELIEVE that the power is within, not without.

And that’s worth thinking about
