AS A MAN THINKETH IN HIS HEART

When you look in the mirror, you see a face that you have known all your life. You see a person that you intimately connect with. You see you! But it is not the real you, the true you. The real you is on the inside, the inner person. And that inner person is directly responsible for the outer you and the things you do or don’t do. As a man thinketh in his heart, his core, his true being, so he is! The inner you is the core you. Just as the heart of the artichoke is the prime part, your core is your best part. The core of the apple is the most important part because after all is said and done, the core the seeds that are the future of that apple. If you cut an apple in half, you could count the seeds in that apple. But you can’t count the future apples that are in those seeds.

The center, the core, of the pineapple is where the sweetest fruit is found. The same is true for us. The heart is the core, where our most intense thoughts, feelings, and beliefs are found. If you can tap into that inner person and tap into the thoughts and feelings that are found there, then you can begin to tap into your “true thoughts, dreams, beliefs, and values,” These are the things that make you act on your own desires. These are the things that guide, direct, determine, and create how you live your life. This is where you determine what you will and will not do, what you go after and what you choose to ignore, what you attempt and what you shy away from. As a man thinketh in his heart, in his core, his inner man, so he is. The core, the center, the heart is the real you.
