A Definite Purpose

A Definite Purpose


It is important to recognize that all of the great leaders, in all walks of life and throughout history, have attained their leadership by the application of their abilities to a definite major purpose. 


It is no less important to observe that those leaders classified as failures have no such purpose, but go around and around, like a ship without a rudder, coming back always empty-handed, to their starting point. 


Some of these “failures” begin with a definite major purpose but that purpose is deserted the moment they are overtaken by temporary defeat or strenuous opposition. 


Failed leaders give up and quit, not knowing that there is a philosophy of success which is as dependable and as definite as the rules of mathematics, and never suspecting that temporary defeat is but a test ground which may prove a blessing in disguise if it is not accepted as final. 


It is one of the great tragedies of civilization that ninety-eight of out every one hundred persons go all the way through life without coming within sight of anything that even approximates definiteness of a major purpose! 


What is your definiteness of purpose? What motivates you? Why do you do the things you do?
