Listen ""Know This Simple Truth""
Episode Synopsis
The following quote comes from James Allen, who in 1903 wrote the widely published self-help booklet entitled “As A Man Thinketh.” That title was taken from the KJV translation of Proverbs 23:7 “as [a man] thinketh in his heart, so is he.”
While I wouldn't endorse numerous core ideas expressed in James Allen’s writings, every so often he expresses biblical truths with immense clarity and insight. For whatever it’s worth here’s what I think is one such quote:
“Know this simple truth—wrong does not result from right, and a good present cannot give birth to a bad future. You are the custodian of your deeds, but not of the results which flow from them. The deeds of to-day bring the happiness or sorrow of to-morrow. Be therefore concerned about what you think and do, rather than about what may or may not come to you; for he whose deeds are good does not concern himself about results, and is freed from fear of future ill.” —James Allen
