This isn't the article I promised but I guess it's worthpublishing as well. I accidentally found this on my facebook favorite quote. I don't even remember I already wrote that. As the quote is also about affecting our spirit or soul, I think publishing it here is not a betrayal towards the blog's major theme.
One great source of failure is found in a lack of concentration of purpose. There will be adverse winds in every voyage, but the able seaman firmly resists their influence, while he takes advantage of every favorable breeze to speed him on his course. So in our aims and pursuits we shall find much to counteract them, much to draw our attention from them, and, unless we are armed with a steadfast purpose, that can subordinate the lesser to the greater, that can repel hindrances, resist attractions, and bend circumstances to our will, our efforts will not be crowned with success.
