1) Establishment of the Internal Self

What is most important for you is to always be united with God and the True Parents. If you separate yourself from them, accidents will occur over and over again. When you separate yourself, you might be thinking you are doing it for the sake of the Will; however, if you do that, you have become a traitor without even knowing it. I'm sure no one thought from the beginning that he would become a traitor. He might have thought he had done something good, but actually it turned out like that. Therefore, those of you who are here must find the three points of union. You should all know that these are the most important cardinal points in order for you to fulfill your responsibilities. The foundation that can internally become one with God and the True Parents is the heart. (24-132)

Those who cannot be officially recognized by God in your internal church life cannot represent God in external social life.(22-36)

How does Rev. Moon guide the Unification Church? \What have you done for God until now? The method, precisely, is, "Come into contact with the mainstream of history." (21-109)

2) Push Forward More than You Determined to

\A person who knows the Principle will make a resolution when he or she turns 21 years of age (because three times seven is 21) saying, "This year I will live 365 days exactly as I have planned." Let's say that this person, on New Year's Day, swore and pledged, "God of heaven and earth! Please watch over this nobody. This year, since I turned 21, I will live 365 days exactly as I have planned," and begins to do so in that year. That same morning, this person denied himself, putting on a solemn stare and hardening his stomach. Yet, after one day, that mind of resolve was already lost. That person is constantly forgetting.

If you have made such a determination with a solemn stare and hardened stomach, unless you stare harder than that and stand up seriously, you will never be able to fulfill your resolution. That is the reality of our life. Isn't that so? (Yes, it is.) You should push forward more than you originally determined to.

When you want to make a motor rotate faster and stronger, you need to give it more and more power. If the power decreases, it will not work. Isn't that so? This is also the Principle, isn't that so? Therefore, every morning, day and night, for one week, two weeks, three weeks, four weeks, one month, two months, half a year, one year, the older you get, the more you need to have a spirit more powerful than the strong determination you made at the start. Can you accomplish the goal if your spirit becomes weaker? If your spirit becomes weaker, even by a small amount, will you be able to accomplish your goal? No, you can't.

You need to have the same determination for 365 days. If you become a person who has a stronger determination and a stronger power than the one you had at the very beginning, then after 365 days, you will be able to say, "Oh, the year I turned 21 became a very memorable, really beautiful and happy year." But once you lower your determination, what will happen? Will you go up or will you fall down? (We will fall down.) Certainly, you will fall down. You will fall down with one eye like this and the other eye like that. Even if you have stared solemnly with your eyes and pledged, you don't know whether you can make it or not. That is the life of a fallen human being. Isn't that so? Is that so or not? (It's so.) (57-141)

3) External Attitude

We, the young men and women, must stand up in front with a banner calling out for the lay people to unite against the reality of today's churches and against denominationalism. You must all know that today's trend of thought is requiring us to do that. A long time ago, a ruler, a monarch, or other sovereign wielded power in the place of God. Even so, were they the real God? Is it only they that can wield power? No. It is not so. Since we are all sons and daughters born with the flesh and blood of God, we are all sons and daughters of Heaven. (6-311)

Today, are there any young men and women who can embrace the people of our nation? Is there anyone who can pioneer the way of the people and feel responsible for the mission of bringing the people closer to the goal? There may be that kind of person. Then, when he or she finds out that Jesus appealed to God, watching the reality of the people who tormented him, shedding tears to hold on to the people and keep them historically connected until today, this person will also appeal to Heaven for the sake of the people just as Jesus did.

Both the historical trend of thought and the future hope of the people are like that. We cannot deny that humankind is waiting for the very moment of the revealing of heavenly law, but we must know that we are undergoing torment in that process. Therefore, you must be able to have confidence in the journey of life you are going on. You cannot go this way without that. (7-32)

Well then, young people of the Unification Church. What are we in the Unification Church trying to do? We are the group that says, "Let's make God and human beings one." There is no mistaking that we are that group. Isn't that true? We might say, "God, please come to us." Or, are we to say, "We will go to You"? What are we to say? (We are to say we will go to You.) You must know that this is the difference between the general established churches and the Unification Church. (87-13)

Is there any young man or woman who pounds on a rock on the mountains and cries out saying, "Rock, did I ask to see the misery of the people?" If there isn't, this country will not be released from its misery. (14-155)

Young men and women of the Unification Church must have the heart to do anything. (11-10)

For you people, whether you are born good or bad, whether you know such-and-such a fact or not is not important. The important thing is from where you learn, from where you come to know, from where you move, from where you stop and where you put all your zeal. This will determine your entire being from now on. (25-95)

We need the young ones more than the older people. We need those young ones with overflowing energy and power. (14-170)

No matter what you do, you need a strong foundation to do something big. With what kind of attitude must we young ones of today be intoxicated? Will you be the engine or the passenger car of a train? Of course, you must be the engine. However, the reality is, we are stuck at the rear end of the passenger car and we follow as the wheels roll backwards.

If you don't have power, you have to roll the wheel and in order to go over the hill. We are the ones who must go on pulling the engine. We must become a Unification group with power. We must have a 100 percent drive to move. You must have a dynamic impulse to break through the barriers. More than anything else, you young ones need to know from where and to where you are headed. You must know the kind of attitude that you should have today. (14-104)

What is the perfect way of life for us young ones of the Unification Church? No matter how harsh a storm blows when you are out on the front line, you are to penetrate it. Even on the way to the cross, you must clench your teeth and go forward. Thus, the right path is to go the way God desires. Those who have not experienced sorrow from that kind of situation will not understand through mere explanations. If you shed tears and cry out, "Father" in that kind of situation, then you will understand the painful effort of God who has been bearing the historical cross. You will also understand that it is because of God's aggrievement that we are unable to become true filial sons and daughters before the Father. When God says, "Oh, it has been My hope to meet sons and daughters who can become My true filial sons and daughters here. Oh, thank you," then, at that place, for the first time, the position of filial sons and daughters, loyal servants and virtuous women is filled. (15-319)
