Align your ruling principle with your great purpose. I will live with a great purpose, but awaken each day subject to a varied ruling principle.

About what am I now employing my own soul? On every occasion, I must ask myself this question, and inquire, “What have I now in this part of me which they call the ruling principle? And whose soul have I now? That of a child, or of a young man, or of a feeble woman, or of a tyrant, or of a domestic animal, or of a wild beast?“

This awareness can inform me of my current bias, my likely reactions, my inclination to respond toward a certain outcome and afford me the opportunity to correct this if it doesn’t align with my great purpose.
