how insignificant their task may appear. Only in this way can the thoughts be gathered and focussed, and resolution and energy be developed, which being done, there is nothing which may not be accomplished. The weakest soul, knowing its own weakness, and believing this truth _that strength can only be developed by effort and practice,_ will, thus believing, at once begin to exert itself, and, adding effort to effort, patience to patience, and strength to strength, will never cease to develop, and will at last grow divinely strong. As the physically weak man can make himself strong by careful and patient training, so the man of weak thoughts can make them strong by exercising himself in right thinking. To put away aimlessness and weakness, and to begin to think with purpose, is to enter the ranks of those strong ones who only recognize failure as one of the pathways to attainment; who make all conditions serve them, and who think strongly, attempt fearlessly, and accomplish masterfully. LTLESS PERFORMANCE OF THEIR DUTY NO MATTER HOW INSIGNIFICANT THEIR TASK MAY APPEAR ONLY IN THIS WAY CAN THE THOUGHTS BE GATHERED AND FOCUSSED AND RESOLUTION AND ENERGY BE DEVELOPED WHICH BEING DONE THERE IS NOTHING WHICH MAY NOT BE ACCOMPLISHED THE WEAKEST SOUL KNOWING ITS OWN WEAKNESS AND BELIEVING THIS TRUTH THAT STRENGTH CAN ONLY BE DEVELOPED BY EFFORT AND PRACTICE WILL AT ONCE BEGIN TO EXERT ITSELF AND ADDING EFFORT TO EFFORT PATIENCE TO PATIENCE AND STRENGTH TO STRENGTH WILL NEVER CEASE TO DEVELOP AND WILL AT LAST GROW DIVINELY STRONG AS THE PHYSICALLY WEAK MAN CAN MAKE HIMSELF STRONG BY CAREFUL AND PATIENT TRAINING SO THE MAN OF WEAK THOUGHTS CAN MAKE THEM STRONG BY EXERCISING HIMSELF IN RIGHT THINKING TO PUT AWAY AIMLESSNESS AND WEAKNESS AND TO BEGIN TO THINK WITH PURPOSE IS TO ENTER THE RANKS OF THOSE STRONG ONES WHO ONLY RECOGNIZE FAILURE AS ONE OF THE PATHWAYS TO ATTAINMENT WHO MAKE ALL CONDITIONS SERVE THEM AND WHO THINK STRONGLY ATTEMPT FEARLESSLY AND ACCOMPLISH MASTERFULLY
