Positive purpose

The obstacles you encounter rarely have a coherent purpose of
their own. They are just there, inconvenient and troublesome
to be sure, but with nothing of substance to sustain them.

You, on the other hand, have the extreme advantage of being
able to choose and follow a definite purpose. By so doing,
instead of randomly scattering your energy and efforts, you
can sharply focus and powerfully concentrate all that
energy, all those efforts in a consistent direction.

Soft, gentle raindrops falling over a wide area will always
yield to the contours and obstructions of the landscape. Yet
when those tiny drops of water are concentrated into a
mighty river, they have the power to cut through any
obstruction.

In the same way, when your thoughts, feelings and actions
are centered around a clear and consistent purpose, nothing
can hold you back. The random and disjointed exertions of
circumstance are no match for a living and unwavering
purpose.

The problems, the frustrations, the challenges and the
difficult situations come and go. A steadfast, meaningful
purpose will carry you successfully through them all.

Give your life a decided advantage over all the burdensome
circumstances you encounter. Live each moment in the service
of the highest and most positive purpose you can imagine.

Positive Direction

You choose your frustrations. And you can just as easily
choose to be free of frustration.

What is it that makes you frustrated? What kinds of things
bring on so much frustration that you can't get anything
accomplished?

Actually, nothing makes you frustrated. Frustration is just
the way you respond to certain situations.

Frustration is useful when you first feel it, because it
calls your attention to the conflict between your inner
values and your outer situation. But once it has your
attention, frustration has done its job, and it is then time
to let it go.

As soon as you feel frustration, ask yourself what that
frustration is attempting to tell you, and listen carefully
to the answer. Once you truly get the message, the
frustration has done its job and it falls naturally and
easily away.

By immediately understanding and appreciating what your
frustration has to say, you can quickly get beyond it. Then,
with a new sense of purpose and positive direction, you'll
be even more effective than before.

You can

Are your doubts holding you back? The way to conquer your
doubts is with action.

Wondering about whether you can do it will not get it done.
The only way to know for sure is to jump right in and get
started.

Avoiding the challenges will only make those challenges grow
bigger. Instead, walk right up to each challenge, and the
closer you get, the more ways you'll discover to get beyond
it.

If you wait until conditions are perfect, all you'll ever do
is wait. Great accomplishments are given birth by starting
from where you are with what you have.

As soon as you start to take action, you'll begin to replace
your doubts with courage and confidence. The more you do,
the more insignificant and powerless those doubts will
become.

Stop wondering and start doing. Once you've done it you'll
always know, without the slightest doubt, that you can.
