"The most practical of all methods for controlling the mind is the habit of keeping it busy with a definite purpose"- Napoleon Hill
While reading the book Today We are Rich I came across the quote above and the following paragraph( I have split it up to improve the readability):
"When you follow a purpose, small problems pale in comparison to your mission. You can dismiss self-doubt and wave off personal uncertainty. Your cause is your shield, protecting you from naysayers and doomsayers alike. Your mind is fixed on solution, not on petty problems.
Your cause will also boost your total confidence. Because you are trying to make a difference, you'll have an internal sense of worthiness. You'll feel as if you deserve to be successful in your efforts...."
In my life I have found this to be true. The more busy I have been the more things get done. There isn't as much time to "think". Thinking is important BUT often times interferes with getting things done. Unfortunately most thinking is a rehash of old thinking- stinky thinking.
So, your mission and mine should be to focus on a definite purpose and you eliminate the noisy thinking.
Today's question is:
"What is your definite purpose?"
