As a Man, Thinketh by James Allen is a very fascinating and insightful book inspiring millions of people to recognize that man’s vision can become reality through positive thoughts.
To begin with, chapter 1 depicts thought and character. Allen states that ‘ if a man has evil thought succumbs pain on the other hand if one endures pure thoughts will enjoy joy and bliss’.
Furthermore, the author suggests that Man is always a master, any wrong decision will ruin his fortune however if he works diligently and tries to find a solution for the mistakes committed makes him wiser.

The author has used an analogy of our mind like a garden according to him – Like the farmer who cultivates a garden from weeds and other growing flowers in the same way one has to keep his mind pure and clear and avoid negative thoughts becomes the director of his life. He that seeketh findeth, and to him that knocketh it shall be opened;’ patience, practice, and persistence witl help to grow in your life.

Vision is very important which helps you to succeed in your life with flying colors. Be aware of Climbing fool’s hills as Carl has suggested in one of his writings. Everybody makes mistakes, we learn from our mistakes, we fall down and reach the hill.

Life is challenging, failures lead to success but one needs to be calm and patient as it is stated in the text “Self-control is strength; Right Thought is mastery; Calmness is power.”

 

It was a good experience attending the Integrity workshop. We delved into various topics such as rational fear, irrational fear, levels of fear, how we can deal with it in an effective manner. We patiently listened to each other’s stories, experiences and sharing and gained some insight into the reason behind our fears. The movie viewing experience was also nice.
All in all, it was enriching to be a part of this workshop.

“Things have a way of working themselves out if we just remain positive.” – Lou Holtz. This principle is explained very well in the book –  As a man thinketh. James Allen says that thoughts are seeds for actions, so our mind is a garden where we must cultivate the right seeds. Allen uses the analogy of our mind being like a garden. In this analogy, the right seeds are thoughts that make us vital, energized and strong, while the weeds are disempowering thoughts. Researchers have proved that if we fill our minds with negativity, we will experience a negative outlook on our lives. Our minds are more powerful than we think. Hence we should fill ourselves with positive thoughts.

In the Bible, the book of Matthew says, “For every one that asketh receiveth; and he that seeketh findeth, and to him that knocketh it shall be opened.” It clearly explains that you will gravitate toward that which you, secretly, most love.

The key message of the book is that everyone has the ability to create their reality. So, go ahead and think positive, as by staying positive, good things will eventually come your way.

 

It had been a great journey in integrity. I really was looking forward to learn from this sessions. Indeed!, I learnt a lot from online life class sessions. I learnt the meaning of the word Integrity and How it is different from being honest. I learnt how to shift one’s self from Pain to Power. It helped me solve many of my problems. I developed a new perspective to look at the problem and life. I learnt a lot from the sharing done by my colleagues and facilitators. Gradually, I feel I became a good listener. Here is a small reflection video that I have prepared to show my journey in the life class.

I would like to thank all of you for the wonderful journey. I have learned how to balance myself in all situations. I also learn that you can’t always good for everyone but you can do always good, people may like it or not but you know you did right.

Integrity life class is something which brings me positivity and motivates me to stay positive in all the situation. It teaches me that I should appreciate myself as well along with when we are doing others because appreciating ourselves make us feel worthy. It also teaches me that how to convert our pain into opportunity. It was an amazing experience to attend this Integrity class.

A very big thanks to Ranjana ma’am and Chandni ma’am. It is a great journey with all the members. In integrity class i have learnt so much things, experienced many things. I enjoyed a lot. I speak very less but now i can able to express myself. And also remain positive in my life. I share my thought to my love ones and relatives. All sessions of integrity class were very interesting and joyful for me. I enjoyed it. My best trying is to continue living my further life with this understanding and knowledge.

So, I would like to thank all of you for the wonderful journey, final bye. Thank you for sharing your great experiences. In the virtual setup, I felt more insightful.

Keep growing and be calm and contended. I have really grown up.

On day one, I was standing in front of a closed-door where I was skeptical about what is going to happen this year. Will I get to gain something meaningful? Will these virtual classes help me learn new things which I am looking forward to?

And then, life happened, all thanks to our facilitators and my team members who were so open and insightful throughout these classes that I could actually come out as a person with a growth mindset.

Today, I am all ready to face my fears and conquer them. Today, I have the ability to accept myself the way I and the people around me with an open heart. Today, I have the courage to appreciate myself and others loud and clear. Today, I am a grown human being who accepts the fact that growth and learning is a lifelong process and no one should stop doing that ever. Today, I am delighted and satisfied.

 

 

“The greatness of a man is not in how much wealth he acquires, but in his integrity and his ability to affect those around him positively.” – Bob Marley

Integrity is a big word with even bigger implications for people of all ages. Integrity isn’t about being perfect. It’s about making the best effort. It’s about growth. It’s about being a better version of ourselves tomorrow than we were today. And it’s about doing what we need to do when we stray from the Character Road.

After attending integrity classes, it has made me delve deeper into my nature. I was able to identify and examine the fears which were embedded in. When people share their real life experiences it also helps us to deal with our problems thoughtfully. As educators it is of paramount importance to be a person of integrity as we are the role model for our students. When we value the learning process over a product, we’ll cultivate an ideal culture in which integrity interactions can thrive. The life we live, after all, is the lesson we teach.

Here is a self-created poem to sum up my Intriguing Integrity life class journey.

Integrity-a way of life

Ahh! the Integrity life class is near,

It helped me recognize my single fear,

But before I surmount over it with sanity,

Embrace each day with clarity,

By taking charge of the steering of my life,

Puts end to the people’s ‘What ifs and Buts’ strife,

Forge ahead with positive mindset,

Every sunset is another opportunity to reset,

Always believe in yourself as every dark cloud has a silver lining,

Make mindful choices in life’s every inning,

Aha! there will be sunshine after the rain and laughter after the pain,

This is what the journey of pain to power was and will forever remain.
