a fixed goal, a clear picture of his desire, or an ideal always before him,
causes it, through repetition, to be buried deeply in his subconscious mind
and is thus enabled, thanks to its generative and sustaining power, to realize
his goal in a minimum of time and with a minimum of physical effort. Just
pursue the thought unceasingly. Step by step you will achieve realization,
for all your faculties and powers become directed to that end.

to an end, not the ultimate purpose of our lives. They are simply a tool to
concentrate our focus and move us in a direction. The only reason we really
pursue goals is to cause ourselves to expand and grow. Achieving goals by

as you overcome the obstacles necessary to achieve your goals, that can give
you the deepest and most long-lasting sense of fulfillment.
