The hours and days you spend being annoyed or frustrated are times when you deny yourself access to life's best possibilities. When you live in anger and resentment, you cut yourself off from life's goodness.

Be thankful for it all. And beyond your many blessings, will be many, many more.
Ralph Marston

Life is not always easy. And that is a major reason why it is so precious. Many of life's best rewards are possible only because you must work your way through difficult challenges to get to them. If everything in life were easy, there would be no opportunity for real fulfillment.
Ralph Marston

Being positive in a negative situation is not naive. It's leadership.
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
What you hold in your heart, you will see in your world.
Ralph Marston
Image
Begin each day with the expectation that it will bring something new, something to which you can say yes.
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
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
Let each moment be guided by positive purpose. And let your whole life express the beauty of who you truly are.
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
Don't waste time on excuses. Just get it done.
Ralph Marston
Image
If something goes wrong, don’t whine about it. Have a spine about it. Adjust, adapt, and move forward.
