Be someone who lives with joy, with purpose, as your own light brightly shines. Be, in every moment, the special someone you are truly meant to be.
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
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
The quality of your commitments will determine the course of your life.
Ralph Marston
Image
Concern yourself more with accepting responsibility than with assigning blame. Let the possibilities inspire you more than the obstacles discourage you.
Ralph Marston

Ralph Marston

Ralph Marston

Being positive does not mean ignoring the negative. Being positive means overcoming the negative.
Ralph Marston

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
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
If you focus on the obstacles, then you give them more power.
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
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
You cannot expect to get the effect when you neglect to create the cause.
Ralph Marston
Image
The best way to handle good fortune is to do something positive and useful with it. The best way to handle misfortune is exactly the same.
Ralph Marston
Image
It doesn't matter how much you want. What really matters is how much you want it.
Ralph Marston
Image
Winners win not because they're allowed to, but because they decide to.
Ralph Marston
Image
Don't waste time on excuses. Just get it done.
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
