Ralph Marston
Image
Rest when you're weary. Refresh and renew yourself, your body, your mind, your spirit. Then get back to work.
Ralph Marston

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

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
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
Doubt is merely a thought. When experience proves it wrong, it will quickly go away.
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
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
Humility reminds you that in order to receive value, you must create value in equal measure.
Ralph Marston
Image
Being positive in a negative situation is not naive. It's leadership.
Ralph Marston
Image
Those who win big do it by creating other winners.
Ralph Marston
Image
Your level of achievement will rise to meet the level of your purpose.
Ralph Marston
Image
Choose to live in a place where your eyes are always open to the positive possibilities.
Ralph Marston
