what i'm reading these days

Now that I've done the DYD thing, I'm looking to improve some other aspects of my life before really applying to full the degree the principles I learned there. First off I'm reading 'Think and Grow Rich'; by Napolean Hill, a book I would recommend to anyone except for its dopey title and somewhat archaic language (early 20th).
This book, like every other 'self help-y' title I have read promote the necessity of a "definite major purpose", and more than ever now I'm inclined towards discovering the exact nature of what mine is. How can I align my resources towards achieving my potential without an exact, well defined target? Thus far I've been content to drift and trust my destiny to bring me closer to whatever it is by some form of mystical spiritual magnetism but the longer I spend here (0on this planet) the more it becomes apparent that I require a direct goal to focus on to achieve it. Now, I could make little goals (kinda the way I;'ve been doing - go to korea, fix teeth, meet girls, work out, alter perspective) but thatis too limited and short-sighted and somewhat backwards in approach. A major goald should be made first, then subsequent goals made to approach that target.
So i need me a definite major purpose. By the 1st of December, for better or worse I will have a plan to take me on the next twenty or so years of my life.

Looking at tha it looks like just words to me - doesn't seem true. Maybe I'll give myself until January and use some NLP and Autosuggestion to soak the idea into my consciousness. A note on the bathrom mirror oughta do the trick. And then some.....
