More quotes by Ralph Marston

Image
Stopping before you reach the goal does not make the discouragement go away. All it does is make the discouragement permanent. Instead, keep going, keep making the attempt, until you make that last, fulfilling attempt that brings the success you desire.
Ralph Marston
Image
Instead of jumping at the chance to be offended, choose to be amused. Rather than filling your thoughts with resentment, fill your heart with forgiveness.
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
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
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

Ralph Marston
Image
If you're ninety-five percent of the way to outstanding success, doesn't it make sense to go the additional five percent of the way? ... A marathon which takes hours to run, can be won or lost by a matter of seconds.
Ralph Marston
Image
Be thankful for it all. And beyond your many blessings, will be many, many more.
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
Happiness is a choice, not a result. Nothing will make you happy until you choose to be happy.
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
Winners win not because they're allowed to, but because they decide to.
Ralph Marston
Image
Truly appreciate life, and you'll find that you have more of it. [at least it will feel like it!]
Ralph Marston
Image
Gratitude is the smile of love.
Ralph Marston
Image
The way to transform your immense inner value into outer riches is by giving it freely and authentically to others.
