第8章 思想决定目标
Thought and Purpose
詹姆斯·艾伦 / James Allen
Until thought is linked with purpose there is no intelligent accomplishment. With the majority the bark of thought is allowed to “drift” upon the ocean of life. Aimlessness is a vice， and such drifting must not continue for him who would steer clear of catastrophe and destruction.
They who have no central purpose in their life fall an easy prey to petty worries， fears， troubles， and self-pitying， all of which are indications of weakness， which lead， just as surely as deliberately planned sins (though by a different route)， to failure， unhappiness， and loss， for weakness cannot persist in a power evolving universe.
