This video is only one of the many and wonderful essays composed and written by James Allen. His message is one of hope even in the midst of Lifes confusion. His writings teach the meaning and the true Laws of Life. James Allen's philosophy insists upon the power of the individual to form his own character and to create his own happiness. Thought and character are one, he says, and as character can only manifest and discover itself through environment and circumstance, the outer conditions of a person's life will always be found to be harmoniously related to his inner state. This does not mean that a man's circumstances at any given time are an indication of his entire character, but that those circumstances are so intimately connected with some vital thought element within him that, for the time being, they are indispensable to his development. James Allen was born in Leicester, Central England, November 28, 1864.
