7' - Character-Building Thought Power
Ralph Waldo Trine's book, Character-Building Thought Power, argues that our thoughts are the foundation of our character and destiny. He emphasizes the importance of controlling our thoughts and cultivating positive mental habits, as these will shape our actions and ultimately our lives. Trine presents concrete examples, such as resisting temptation and managing anger, to demonstrate how consciously directing our thoughts can bring about desirable changes. He further asserts that we can overcome negative hereditary influences and achieve self-realization through consciously aligning our thoughts with the Divine. He concludes by stressing the importance of quiet contemplation and inner connection as crucial elements for building strong character and living a fulfilling life.
