More quotes by Ralph Marston
In every kind of endeavor, there are ample opportunities for extra effort. Grab those opportunities, embrace that extra effort and transform ordinary mediocrity into bright and shining excellence.
Ralph Marston
It's difficult to follow your dream. It's a tragedy not to.
Ralph Marston
Dreams are unrealistic, impractical, demanding - and absolutely essential to living a rich and fulfilling life.
Ralph Marston
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
Being positive in a negative situation is not naive. It's leadership.
Ralph Marston
Your life is constantly nourished by your thoughts. Whatever the direction your life is moving, your thoughts have led you there.
Ralph Marston
Gratitude is the smile of love.
Ralph Marston
If something goes wrong, don’t whine about it. Have a spine about it. Adjust, adapt, and move forward.
Ralph Marston
Humility reminds you that in order to receive value, you must create value in equal measure.
Ralph Marston
Life is not always easy. And that is a major reason why it is so precious. Many of life's best rewards are possible only because you must work your way through difficult challenges to get to them. If everything in life were easy, there would be no opportunity for real fulfillment.
Ralph Marston
You cannot expect to get the effect when you neglect to create the cause.
Ralph Marston
There are very real obstacles and challenges to any course of action. And there's no need to add to them, by making up obstacles of your own. Unchain yourself from the bondage of your own thinking.
Ralph Marston
If you're ninety-five percent of the way to outstanding success, doesn't it make sense to go the additional five percent of the way? ... A marathon which takes hours to run, can be won or lost by a matter of seconds.
Ralph Marston
There is most certainly a purpose you are yearning to fulfill. Find it, know it, follow it, and you can change the world.
Ralph Marston
Those who win big do it by creating other winners.
Ralph Marston
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
Your life is magnificent not because someone says it is, but because you choose to see it as such
Ralph Marston
What you are longing for is longing for you.
Ralph Marston
The quality of your commitments will determine the course of your life.
Ralph Marston
Winners win not because they're allowed to, but because they decide to.
Ralph Marston
