What is it that you would like to do or be or have more than anything else in the world?

The author Henry Ward Beecher once wrote that "The first hour is the rudder of the day."

It is called the "Golden Hour," and what you put into your mind first thing sets the tone for the rest of the day.

Each morning, I get up and exercise for a while, stretching my muscles, especially my back, and getting my blood flowing. Then I sit down with a cup of coffee and read something spiritual and enlightening.

It is a form of "psychic breakfast" that gives me food for thought and contemplation.

This morning, I was reading Emmet Fox’s essay on your "Heart’s Desire." It says that you are put here on earth to do something wonderful with your life, something that only you can do.

You are unique in all the world. There never has been, and never will be another person just like you. You come into the world with "secret orders," with special talents and abilities that you can use to achieve any goal you really want.

So here is the big question: "What is your ‘heart’s’ desire?"

What is it that you would like to do or be or have more than anything else in the world?

And here is the neat part. Whatever it is, if you are absolutely clear about it, and you really want it long enough and hard enough, you probably have the ability to achieve, or the ability to attract into your life the people, resources and ideas you need to make it a reality.

Your great responsibility, to yourself and the world, is to determine your heart’s desire, and then commit yourself wholeheartedly to making it come true.
