Right Thinking Vs. Wrong Thinking.
“A noble and Godlike character is not a thing of favour or chance, but is the natural result of continued effort in right thinking, the effect of long-cherished association with Godlike thoughts. An ignoble and bestial character, by the same process, is the result of the continued harbouring of grovelling thoughts.”
— James Allen
Reflection
Right thinking builds strength; wrong thinking builds struggle. Allen teaches that thought is the architect of character, and character is the architect of destiny.
Right thinking aligns with truth, humility, discipline, and faith. Wrong thinking tolerates fear, resentment, and self-deception. The difference between the two is not subtle — it is transformational.
When you choose right thinking, you choose clarity over confusion, responsibility over blame, and hope over despair. Your inner world becomes ordered, and your outer world begins to reflect that order.
God calls you to renew your mind not as a suggestion but as a strategy. Right thinking is the soil in which every good thing grows.
And that’s worth thinking about.
— Vic Johnson
