Quote

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.

More quotes by 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
Carrying a grudge is difficult work that brings nothing of value. Forgive, and be free.
Ralph Marston
Image
Humility reminds you that in order to receive value, you must create value in equal measure.
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

The sooner you act, the bigger difference you can make.

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
Image
Happiness is a choice, not a result. Nothing will make you happy until you choose to be happy.
Ralph Marston
Image
There's nothing that says you have to succeed in the same way as someone else. In fact, there's nothing that says you must define success in the same way as someone else.
Ralph Marston
Image
Don’t make excuses for why you can’t get it done. Focus on all the reasons why you must make it happen.
Ralph Marston
Image
Look, really look, at how beautiful this day is. Let go of the worries and anxieties and judgments, and see the beauty.
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
In every kind of endeavor, there are ample opportunities for extra effort. Grab those opportunities, embrace that extra effort and transform ordinary mediocrity into bright and shining excellence.
Ralph Marston
Image
Being positive does not mean ignoring the negative. Being positive means overcoming the negative.
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

What you are longing for is longing for you.
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
Let each moment be guided by positive purpose. And let your whole life express the beauty of who you truly are.
Ralph Marston
