Until thought is linked with purpose there is no
intelligent achievement. 18
With the majority the bark (light stick) of thought is
allowed to “drift” upon the ocean of life…and such…must not continue for him
who would steer clear of catastrophe and destruction. 18
Aimlessness is a vice. 18
They who have no central purpose in their life fall an
easy prey to petty worries, fears, and self-pityings…which lead…to failure,
unhappiness, and loss. 18
To put away aimlessness and weakness and to begin to think
with purpose is to enter the ranks of those strong ones who recognize failure
as one of the pathways to attainment. Who make all conditions serve them, and
who think strongly, attempt fearlessly, and accomplish masterfully. 19
Doubts and fears…are disintegrating elements which break
up the straight line of effort, rendering it crooked, ineffectual, useless. 19
Purpose, energy, power to do, and all strong thoughts
cease when doubt and fear creep in. 19
The will to do springs from the knowledge that we can do.
Doubt and fear are the great enemies of (that) knowledge, and he who encourages
them, who does not slay them, thwarts himself at every step. 19
He who has conquered doubt and fear has conquered failure.
19
Thought allied fearlessly to purpose becomes a creative
force. He who knows this is ready to become something higher and stronger…He
who does this has become the conscious and intelligent wielder of his mental
powers. 19
