Live For a Great Purpose

Have one predominant purpose.

It is necessary to make a definite decision
as to what purpose you wish to live, think and work for.

Live for a great purpose,
and hold the central idea of that purpose
constantly before mind.

All thought and all action must be concentrated upon the goal
which that purpose has in view;
and that concentration must be so strong
that the goal in view comes vividly before the mind
the very moment any thought is given to the future.

The force of that purpose must be so deeply felt
that it is keenly felt and constantly felt
in every part of mind and personality.

To direct every force and element in your system to work for you,
you must have a definite purpose in life,
and this purpose must be felt so deeply
that it becomes an ever-present factor in consciousness.

A number of times during each day
the mind should deeply desire
that every element and force in the system
work with full capacity for the purpose in view;
and every night before going to sleep
the subconscious mind should be directed
to carry out the demands of that same desire.

This purpose should be impressed
so deeply and so thoroughly upon the mind
that you never think without thinking of this purpose;
that you never desire without desiring the realization of this purpose;
that you never express your ambition
without giving to this purpose the full life and power of your ambition.

You must actually live in every sense of the word
for the purpose you have in view.

The purpose in mind must be so strong
that the force of that purpose dominates
over all the other forces in the system.

When any purpose, desire or ambition
is so deeply felt as to be felt in every fibre in one's being,
and is so strong that it stirs every atom in one's being
with its force and power,
then all the elements and forces in the system
will follow the line of action of that purpose, desire or ambition,
and will work for the object held in view.
