More quotes by Ralph Marston

Image
Instead of being intimidated by the limitations, be inspired to find new ways around them.
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
Every aspect of your life is greatly influenced, day in and day out, by the way you imagine life to be. Imagine the best, choose the goodness, and be a source of love and light for all to see.
Ralph Marston
Image
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
Image
You are what you are most profoundly thankful for, and what you love.
Ralph Marston
Image

Ralph Marston

Ralph Marston
Image
Even in the most difficult situation there is always, somehow, a way to triumph
Ralph Marston
Image
Beset by a difficult problem? Now is your chance to shine. Pick yourself up, get to work and get triumphantly through it. The time you spend living in fear is time you cannot spend living in love. The time you spend hiding and retreating from life is time you cannot spend growing and advancing and achieving.
Ralph Marston
Image
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
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
Every moment spent in negativity is paid for with something truly priceless. That something is life.
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
Make it a habit to tell people thank you. To express your appreciation, sincerely and without the expectation of anything in return. Truly appreciate those around you, and you'll soon find many others around you. Truly appreciate life, and you'll find that you have more of it.
Ralph Marston
Image
Give your best to the challenges. And what you get will be even better.
Ralph Marston
Image
The quality of your commitments will determine the course of your life.
Ralph Marston
Image
Those who are passionate about what they do have an advantage that is nearly impossible to overcome. In passion there is energy, creativity, resilience and persistence. Passion will get it done.
Ralph Marston
