Thought And Purpose

Until thought is linked with purpose there is no intelligent 

accomplishment. With the majoritythe bark of thought is allowed 

to "drift" upon the ocean of life. 

They who have no central purpose intheir life fall an easy prey to 

petty worries, fears, troubles, and self-pityings, all of which are 

indications of weakness, which lead, just as surely as deliberately 

planned sins (though by a different route), to failure, 

unhappiness, and loss, for weakness cannot persist in a power-evolving universe. 

A man should conceive of a legitimate purpose in his heart, and 

set out to accomplish it. 

He should make thispurpose the centralizing point of his 

thoughts. It may take the form of a spiritual ideal, or it may be a 

worldly object, according to his nature at the time being. 

Whichever it is, he should steadily focus his thought-forces upon 

the object he had set before him. 

He should make this purpose his supreme duty and should devote 

himself to its attainment, not allowing his thoughts to wander 

away into ephemeral fancies,longings, and imaginings. 

This is the royal road to self-control and true concentration of 

thought. 

Even if he fails again and again to accomplish his purpose--as he 

must until weakness is overcome--the strength of character gained will be

 the measure of his true success, and this will form 

a new starting point for future power and triumph. 

Thoughts of doubt and fear can never accomplish anything.

They always lead to failure. Purpose, energy, power to do, and all 

strong thoughts cease when doubt and fear creep in. 

The will to do springs from the knowledge that we can do. Doubt 

and fear are the great enemies of knowledge, and he who 

encourages them, who does not slay them, thwarts himself at 

every step. 

He who has conquered doubt and fear has conquered failure. 

His every thought is allied withpower, and all difficulties are 

bravely met and overcome. 

His purposes are seasonably planted, and they bloom and bring 

forth fruit that does not fall prematurely to the ground.
