Ideal

I give thanks for the ability to know where I ought to go in life and for the courage and strength to pursue my God-given purpose.

To those just beginning to travel life’s turnpike—don’t start until you have your ideal; then don’t stop until you get it.

If you don’t know where you want to go you really can’t get far in life. You must take time to look deep within your heart to discover your hidden dreams and secret desires. Once you know what they are, allow these to become your ideals. Then you can begin to work toward making your ideal into a visible reality.

Concentrate your attention on your ideal. Look at it from all aspects. Give it meditative thought and prayer. Create a mental picture. Get excited about it, as if it were already done. Take whatever action you are guided to take. Put energy, effort, and time into your ideal—and you can make it real.

Trust in the LORD; and he shall give you the desires of your heart. (Psalm 37:4)
