ANYONE with a right purpose in life is at a great advantage, for purpose always helps to give direction to action. And people need direction. To wander through life aimlessly becomes tiresome and gives no one true satisfaction.
The sooner one decides what his purpose is, the better. This is one of the advantages of youth. There is no use in wasting valuable time. Purpose should never be vague or indefinite. It should be clearly defined. When a goal is intelligently conceived, the steps that lead to its attainment develop naturally.
A right purpose is never a selfish one. If it is right, it emanates from God—divine Love, or Principle; and when it has its inception in Love, it expresses Love—it manifests Love's nature. Unselfed love dominates the thought of one whose purpose is God-derived, and self-immolation becomes the rule of life.
