“Far better it is to dare mighty things, to win glorious triumphs, even though checkered by failure, than to take rank with those poor spirits who neither enjoy much nor suffer much, because they live in the gray twilight that knows neither victory nor defeat.”
Theodore Roosevelt, Strenuous Life

Purity of Purpose

In the life of a man, the highest ideal he can achieve is purity of purpose.
Purity of self, purity of mind, of soul. All these and others are merely offshoots of one thing.

Purpose.

If one has a purpose, a thing, or an ideal that one strives for above all things, then he is capable of mighty feats in the pursuit of that thing. A man is capable of so much more when he is striving for something other than himself. Remember this as you walk through life, keep it close to you in whatever you do. Align yourself with your purpose, and you will know satisfaction, even should you momentarily fail.

If you can achieve Purity of Purpose, then you shall know enlightenment.
