Our daily actions determine our direction and destiny. Cultivating definite purpose and intention puts us on course to attain all we desire professionally and personally. In his book Think and Grow Rich, Napoleon Hill suggests the following:

“Whatever the mind can conceive and believe, it can achieve.”

Each of these elements forms an integral part of leading a more prosperous material and spiritual life.

CONCEIVE: The power of our mind has no limits. Utilizing our creative energy awakens our mind, a magnificent machine which can establish new ways of thinking and break with routine.

Our creativity, fed by an honest and dignified purpose, can create incredible change. Creating solutions to the problems and challenges facing humanity assures our effort and work will be justly rewarded. One of the most valuable gifts we all possess and which costs absolutely nothing is our creative energy. We can use this extraordinary power to live a life full of intention and meaning.

BELIEVE: A deep belief in our ability to achieve a specific objective is critical to our success. Our mind is our greatest ally and our worst enemy. We construct a base of triumph or are lost in a hole of defeat depending on our conviction in our capabilities.

Often the difference between “the ecstasy of success and the agony of defeat” is the faith we have in successfully completing a task. Confidence in our ability to reach our objectives is critical if we are to prevail through the gusts of adversity which will threaten to rock and destroy the foundation we have so carefully created.

ACHIEVE: To succeed in the sea of day to day events isn’t easy. Our lives can be likened to a ship on the ocean in the middle of a storm. The swirling winds of destiny and peril test our determination and purpose.

Our daily activities are the rudder which lead us and allow us to maintain our sight firmly on the horizon as the waves of change crash against us and threaten the integrity of our purpose. A firm and honorable purpose assures our path remains constant and unwavering towards our objective.

We can enhance this wonderful journey we call life by stimulating our creative power to generate a worthy purpose, by believing firmly in its realization and by taking action to guarantee implementation. To conceive, believe and achieve is to assure we will not waddle in waves of self pity but rather flourish with the energy of burning desire.
