Image
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.
Ralph Marston
Image
When you do the right thing, enjoy it! When you take positive actions, enjoy them. After all, they are leading you toward positive results. Pat yourself on the back. Truly enjoy the fact that you're making positive progress, and the negative temptations will have no power over you.
Ralph Marston
Image
Every positive thing in your life represents a single unique blessing. Every negative thing in your life has the opportunity to become a double blessing. For when you turn a negative into a positive, you gain twice. You are no longer burdened with the negative situation, and in addition to that you are strengthened by a new positive force.
Ralph Marston
Image
Don’t make excuses for why you can’t get it done. Focus on all the reasons why you must make it happen.
Ralph Marston
Image
It doesn't matter how much you want. What really matters is how much you want it.
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
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
The sooner you act, the bigger difference you can make.
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
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
Those who win big do it by creating other winners.
Ralph Marston
Image
You cannot expect to get the effect when you neglect to create the cause.
Ralph Marston
Image
A world of abundance surrounds you, if only you will step up and claim it. Make life happen through you rather than letting it happen to you. It will make all the difference in the world.
Ralph Marston
Image
You are what you are most profoundly thankful for, and what you love.
Ralph Marston
Image
There is a thought in your mind right now. The longer you hold on to it, the more you dwell upon it, the more life you give to that thought. Give it enough life, and it will become real. So make sure the thought is indeed a great one.
Ralph Marston
Image
Humility reminds you that in order to receive value, you must create value in equal measure.
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
Every day you spend drifting away from your goals is a waste not only of that day, but also of the additional day it takes to regain lost ground.
Ralph Marston
Image
Lasting achievement, whatever the endeavor, comes from a commitment to excellence every step of the way.
Ralph Marston
Image
The way to transform your immense inner value into outer riches is by giving it freely and authentically to others.
