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.

Silence is the great teacher, and to learn its lessons you must pay
attention to it. There is no substitute for the creative inspiration,
knowledge, and stability that come from knowing how to contact your core
of inner silence. The great Sufi poet Rumi wrote, "Only let the
moving waters calm down, and the sun and moon will be reflected on the
surface of your being.".
