Quote of the Day (James Allen, on How a Person Can Become ‘The Rightful Master of Himself’)

“Man is buffeted by circumstances so long as he believes himself to be the creature of outside conditions, but 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.”— English philosophical writer and editor James Allen (1864-1912), As a Man Thinketh (1903)

Thanks to my friend Holly for this inspirational quote.
