More quotes by Ralph Marston
Carrying a grudge is difficult work that brings nothing of value. Forgive, and be free.
Ralph Marston
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
Humility reminds you that in order to receive value, you must create value in equal measure.
Ralph Marston
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
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
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
The way to transform your immense inner value into outer riches is by giving it freely and authentically to others.
Ralph Marston
The real person you are is revealed in the moments when you're certain no other person is watching. When no one is watching, you are driven by what you expect of yourself.
Ralph Marston
What you do today can improve all your tomorrows.
Ralph Marston
If you so choose, each day can be filled with even more joy than the one before. If you so choose, even the most seemingly random events can work in your favor.
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
Doubt is merely a thought. When experience proves it wrong, it will quickly go away.
Ralph Marston
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
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
If the challenge seems a bit too overwhelming, that's the one you want. Take it on & let it pull you up.
Ralph Marston
Being positive in a negative situation is not naive. It's leadership.
Ralph Marston
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
Rest when you're weary. Refresh and renew yourself, your body, your mind, your spirit. Then get back to work.
Ralph Marston
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
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
