Shinn became an expert on the power of thoughts and the energy which flows from them into our lives. Born in New Jersey in 1871, Shinn became a spiritual writer during her middle age. Florence was part of what was what was termed at the time “The New Thought Movement,” a spiritual group which developed in the late 19th century of philosophers, writers and such who believed that thoughts either created or stopped one’s sickness through the law of attraction.
Ms. Shinn left several books including The Game of Life and How to Play It.
Florence Shinn believed that our positive thoughts (which were another form of energy) and affirmations made one a success. Her books gave countless examples of individuals taking control of their destiny through the power of their minds.
Quoting Florence Shinn:
"Every great work, every big accomplishment, has been brought into manifestation through holding to the vision, and, often just before the big achievement, comes apparent failure and discouragement."
Something to keep in mind should you feel like quitting or are exhausted.
