Empty yourself.

Resolve that whatever you do, you will bring the whole man to it; that you will fling the whole weight of your being into it.

Orison Swett Marden

Bringing the whole man – or woman – to it is akin to emptying yourself onto that field.

But this is not limited to exertion in a purely physical sense. There needs to be a common mental, emotional and spiritual investment as well.

Like “leaving it on the field”, you need to be ‘all in”. Holding back anything in the smallest measure will onlt breed regret should the attempt fall short. And absolutely no one needs that weight on their shoulders or psyche.

The only fitting way to fling the whole weight of your being into your aspirations is to just let go and empty yourself out.

The affirmation produced by such an action will act to refill you in all aspects.

Perfect.

So you have it within you to do it all over again.
