Topic: Molding The World's Destiny

with contributions from Emmet Fox, William L. Mackenzie King, James Reid

[Rev. Emmet Fox, as quoted in the Twentieth Century Progress, Washington, District of Columbia]

All day long the thoughts that occupy your mind, your secret place, ... are molding your destiny for good or evil; in fact, the truth is that the whole of your life's experience is but the outer expression of inner thought.

Now we can choose the sort of thoughts that we entertain. ... We can choose how we shall think—in point of fact, we always do choose, and therefore our lives are just the result of the kind of thoughts we have chosen to hold; and therefore they are of our own ordering; and therefore there is perfect justice in the universe. No suffering for another man's original sin, but the reaping of a harvest that we ourselves have sown. We have free will, but our free will lies in our choice of thought.
