Quote

Don't lower your expectations to meet your performance. Raise your level of performance to meet your expectations. Expect the best of yourself, and then do what is necessary to make it a reality.

Image
It's difficult to follow your dream. It's a tragedy not to.
Ralph Marston
Image
Truth is just as essential to nourishing the mind as food is to nourishing the body. The more fully you live each moment in truth, the more powerful and effective those moments will be.
Ralph Marston
Image
Your busy schedule has plenty of quantity. Think of how you could give it some true quality and meaning. Consider the people, the beliefs, the goals, the things which are really imp9ortant to you. Make time for them, not someday, but right now. Don't just fill your schedule. Fill your life.
Ralph Marston
Image
Being positive does not mean ignoring the negative. Being positive means overcoming the negative.
Ralph Marston
Image
When was the last time you spent a quiet moment just doing nothing - just sitting and looking at the sea, or watching the wind blowing the tree limbs, or waves rippling on a pond, a flickering candle or children playing in the park?
Ralph Marston
Image
Stopping before you reach the goal does not make the discouragement go away. All it does is make the discouragement permanent. Instead, keep going, keep making the attempt, until you make that last, fulfilling attempt that brings the success you desire.
Ralph Marston
Image
When you find yourself ready to complain about what you don't have, stop for a moment to consider what incredible things you do have. And resolve to make the most of it all.
Ralph Marston
Image
Look, really look, at how beautiful this day is. Let go of the worries and anxieties and judgments, and see the beauty.
Ralph Marston
Image
Feelings come and feelings go. There is no need to fear them and no need to crave them. Be open to your feelings and experience them while they are here. Then be open to the feelings that will come next. Your feelings are a part of your experience. Yet no mere feeling, however intense it may seem, is your permanent reality.
Ralph Marston
Image
Even when there seems to be nothing else, there is hope.
Ralph Marston
Image
The quality of your commitments will determine the course of your life.
Ralph Marston
Image
It doesn't matter how much you want. What really matters is how much you want it.
Ralph Marston
Image
Be wary of those who seek to steal your dream. Be even more wary of those who seek to tell you what your dream should be.
Ralph Marston
Image
The fundamental challenge of achieving anything you wish is first to convince yourself to do it. Once you are totally convinced of its value, you'll find a way to get it done.
Ralph Marston
Image
What you are longing for is longing for you.
Ralph Marston
Image
One of the greatest motivators is desire. If the desire is strong enough you will do whatever it takes to achieve. Just connect your actions with your true desires.
Ralph Marston
Image
Today is plenty right now is enough. Tomorrow will come in good time. Until it does, live the depth of now.
Ralph Marston
Image
Lasting achievement, whatever the endeavor, comes from a commitment to excellence every step of the way.
Ralph Marston
Image
Begin each day with the expectation that it will bring something new, something to which you can say yes.
Ralph Marston
Image
Beset by a difficult problem? Now is your chance to shine. Pick yourself up, get to work and get triumphantly through it. The time you spend living in fear is time you cannot spend living in love. The time you spend hiding and retreating from life is time you cannot spend growing and advancing and achieving.
Ralph Marston
