Expecting The Best Means That You Put Your Whole Heart (i.e. The Central Essence Of Your Personality) Into What You Want To Accomplish.

Many People Conceive Of Religion As Something Apart From Everyday Affairs Of The World. They Think Of It In Terms Of Ceremony Or Ritual Or Sermons And Often It Strikes Them As Being Dull Or Not Particularly Interesting. Religion May Be Described In Many Ways. I Like To Think Of It As A Medicine, A Healing Medicine For The Mind.

To Experience The Satisfaction And Enjoyment Of Success In Life, A Definitive Goal Is Essential. Many People Fail At This Vital Point. The Goal Must Be Definite And Specific, Not In Any Sense Vague Or Fuzzy. And To Prove Attainable, Its Image Needs To Be Sharpened And Resharpened Continually, So That It Stands Out Vividly In Your Thoughts. You Must Know, At All Times, Precisely And For Certain What It Is You Want To Accomplish And Achieve. Strong And Organized Purposefulness Toward A Definite Objective Will Focus Your Powers Into A Strong Motivation In Attainment Of Your Goal.
