In Texas, years ago, almost all of the oil came from surface operations.
Then someone got the idea that there were greater sources of supply deeper
down. A well was drilled five thousand feet deep. The result? A gusher.
Too many of us operate on the surface. We never go deep enough to find
supernatural resources. The result is, we never operate at our best. More
time and investment is involved to go deep but a gusher will pay off.

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.
