Vitality--What
is
it?
Vitality
first
of
all
means
endurance
and
the
ability
to
live
long.
It
naturally
indicates
functional
and
organic
vigor.
You
cannot
be
vital
unless
the
organs
of
the
body
are
possessed
of
at
least
a
normal
degree
of
strength
and
are
performing
their
functions
harmoniously
and
satisfactorily.
To
be
vital
means
that
you
are
full
of
vim
and
energy,
that
you
possess
that
enviable
characteristic
known
as
vivacity.
It
means
that
you
are
vibrating,
pulsating
with
life
in
all
its
most
attractive
forms.
For
life,
energy,
vitality-call
it
what
you
wish-in
all
its
normal
manifestations,
will
always
be
found
attractive.
A
vital
man
is
at
all
times
thoroughly
alive.
The
forces
of
life
seem
to
imbue
every
part
of
his
organism
with
energy,
activity
and
all
characteristics
opposed
to
things
inanimate.
A
vital
man
is
naturally
enthusiastic.
He
can
hardly
avoid
being
ambitious.
And
consequently
success,
with
all
its
splendid
rewards,
comes
to
such
a
man
in
abundance.
Life
to
such
a
man
should
be
resplendent
with
worthy
achievements.
No
one
belittles
the
importance
of
success.
Everyone
is
guided
to
a
large
extent
by
the
desire
to
succeed.
When
a
child
toddles
off
to
school
the
training
which
he
secures
there
is
given
for
the
single
purpose
of
bringing
success,
but
this
goal
cannot
possibly
be
reached
without
throbbing
vitality.
In
fact,
you
are
not
yourself
in
every
sense
unless
you
possess
vitality
of
this
sort.
The
emotions
and
instincts
that
come
to
one
when
thoroughly
developed,
with
the
vital
forces
surging
within,
are
decidedly
different
from
those
which
influence
one
when
lacking
in
stamina.
Many
who
have
grown
beyond
adult
age
are
still
undeveloped,
so
far
as
physical
condition
and
vigor
is
concerned,
and
this
lack
of
physical
development
or
vitality
means
immaturity-incompleteness.
It
means
that
one
is
short
on
manhood
or
womanhood.
This
statement,
that
one's
personality,
under
such
circumstances,
is
not
completely
brought
out,
may
seem
strange
to
some;
but
careful
reasoning
will
soon
verify
its
accuracy.
Success
of
the
right
sort,
therefore,
depends
first
of
all
upon
intelligent
efforts
that
are
guided
day
after
day,
with
a
view,
first
of
all,
of
developing
the
physical
organism
to
the
highest
possible
standard,
and
maintaining
it
there.
