Image
There is no limit to what you can imagine. And with commitment, with effort, what you can imagine you can become. Put your mind to work for you. Believe that you can do it. The world will tell you that you can't. Yet, in your belief you'll find the strength, you'll find the ability, to do it anyway.
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

Ralph Marston
Image
Live what you love, and love what you live. Anything less is a painful and frustrating waste of your precious time.
Ralph Marston

Concern yourself more with accepting responsibility than with assigning blame. Let the possibilities inspire you more than the obstacles discourage you.
Ralph Marston
Image
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
Image
What you do today can improve all your tomorrows.
Ralph Marston
Image
Dare to dream big dreams. For those are the dreams that have the power to push your whole world forward.
Ralph Marston
Image
There's nothing that says you have to succeed in the same way as someone else. In fact, there's nothing that says you must define success in the same way as someone else.
Ralph Marston
Image
Instead of being intimidated by the limitations, be inspired to find new ways around them.

Happiness is a choice, not a result. Nothing will make you happy until you choose to be happy.
Ralph Marston

Even when there seems to be nothing else, there is hope.
