Need help with translating a table of contents page, my Japanese isn't very good so I'm not confident in my translations below. I'm certainly having trouble with the first translation. What's mote?

‘持て’ (mote) is an imperative form of ‘持つ’ (motsu), and the meaning of ‘持つ’ (motsu) is such as ‘have’, ‘hold’, ‘own’, ‘possess’, ‘keep’.

So, the translation of the first line may be “Have the heart that can control your power” or something like that.

Other lines seem correct translations.
