a determined purpose that which you have been letting yourself do involuntarily all your life. You have learned that when you decide to do a thing and get up your to do it,-you can do it. Now what you do, in case of necessity, or under the stress of must, or when you develop a positive determination, you are to create into habit of doing consciously all the time. By this time you will have perceived that what you are learning is not something for occasions, but something for all time.

And though a man cannot return to his mother's womb and be born with new amounts of vivacity, yet there are two economies which are the best succedanea which the case admits. The first is the stopping off decisively our miscellaneous activity and concentrating our force on one or a few points: as the gardener, by severe pruning, forces the sap into one or two vigorous limbs, instead of suffering it to spindle into a sheaf of twigs.

-Emerson in, "Power."
