Ralph Marston

Ralph Marston

Dreams are unrealistic, impractical, demanding - and absolutely essential to living a rich and fulfilling life.
Ralph Marston
Image
When you do the right thing, enjoy it! When you take positive actions, enjoy them. After all, they are leading you toward positive results. Pat yourself on the back. Truly enjoy the fact that you're making positive progress, and the negative temptations will have no power over you.
Ralph Marston
Image
Your life is constantly nourished by your thoughts. Whatever the direction your life is moving, your thoughts have led you there.
Ralph Marston
Image
Choose to live in a place where your eyes are always open to the positive possibilities.
Ralph Marston
Image
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
Image
Let each moment be guided by positive purpose. And let your whole life express the beauty of who you truly are.
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
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
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
