Quote: A man should conceive of a legitimate purpose in his heart, and set out to accomplish it. He should make this purpose 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; but whichever it is, he should steadily focus his thought forces upon the object which he has 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 necessarily 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. [James Allen]
Quote: Above all be of single aim; have a legitimate and useful purpose, and devote yourself unreservedly to it. [James Allen]

[James Allen]
Quote: He who would be useful, strong, and happy must cease to be a passive receptacle for the negative, beggarly, and impure streams of thought; and as a wise householder commands his servants and invites his guests, so must he learn to command his desires and to say, with authority, what thoughts he shall admit into the mansion of his soul. [James Allen]
Quote: Work joyfully and peacefully, knowing that right thoughts and right efforts will inevitably bring about right results. [James Allen]
Quote: A man is literally what he thinks [James Allen]
Quote: All that you accomplish or fail to accomplish with your life is the direct result of your thoughts. [James Allen]
