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.

Carrying a grudge is difficult work that brings nothing of value. Forgive, and be free.
Ralph Marston
Image
Be someone who lives with joy, with purpose, as your own light brightly shines. Be, in every moment, the special someone you are truly meant to be.
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
Happiness is a choice, not a result. Nothing will make you happy until you choose to be happy.
Ralph Marston
Image
Don't let the silly little dramas of each day get you down. For you are here to do great things.

Ralph Marston
Image
If something goes wrong, don’t whine about it. Have a spine about it. Adjust, adapt, and move forward.
Ralph Marston
Image
Just as surely as you can create a thought in your mind, you can create this day in the way you choose.
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
Gratitude is the smile of love.
Ralph Marston
Image
If you focus on the obstacles, then you give them more power.
Ralph Marston
Image
What you are longing for is longing for you.
Ralph Marston
Image
The best way to handle good fortune is to do something positive and useful with it. The best way to handle misfortune is exactly the same.
Ralph Marston
Image
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
