A Sense of Purpose

A Sense of Purpose

I will use the circumstances that life offers in order to strengthen my will and become a dynamic, effective person. I will center myself and focus in on a direction and purpose for my life. When I understand my own direction, I will move toward it in all ways that are available to me. Even the smallest thing is worth doing.

I will take a small action.
 

I have just mentioned three important ways to make your will dynamic:

(1) choose a simple task or an accomplishment that you have never mastered and determine to succeed with it;

(2) be sure you have chosen something constructive and feasible, then refuse to consider failure;

(3) concentrate on a single purpose, using all abilities and opportunities to forward it.

But you should always be sure, within the calm region of your inner Self, that what you want is right for you to have. and in accord with life's purposes. You can then use all the force of your will to accomplish your object; keep your mind, however, centered on the thought of God - the Source of all power and all accomplishment.
