Words are tools, thoughts are weapons

5:00

Words are tools to forge special weapons, and those special weapons are thoughts.

If you are skilled enough with words, you can skillfully shape your thoughts, and use those thought-weapons against fears or doubts that may arise in you, either spontaneously or under the influence of someone who wishes to create those fears in you.

A great book to read about mastering your mental powers, is James Allen's As a Man Thinketh. Written over 100 years ago, it is still as relevant, fresh and inspiring as ever. It is also incredibly short! It is definitely one of those books I keep reading over and over again (no, not because I'm a slow learner! It's just that if you read between the lines, you discover secrets about the awesome mental power we all have, but unfortunately rarely use.
