Edited & adapted from the motivational work of James Allen. Inspirational Podcast Excerpt : Until your thoughts are linked with purpose there is no intelligent accomplishment in life. The majority of us simply allow our thoughts to \"drift\" aimlessly upon the ocean of life, which is why we so often unexpectedly crash against a rocky shore. Those who have no central purpose in life fall an easy prey to petty worries, fears, troubles, and self-pity, all of which are indications of weakness that lead to failure, unhappiness, and loss, for weakness cannot persist in a power evolving universe. --------------------- Get our popular 3 books of Life Lessons in paperback and e-book on Amazon.
