Ralph Marston

Truth is just as essential to nourishing the mind as food is to nourishing the body. The more fully you live each moment in truth, the more powerful and effective those moments will be.
Ralph Marston

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.

Ralph Marston

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

Your life is magnificent not because someone says it is, but because you choose to see it as such
Ralph Marston
Image
Achievement does not require extraordinary ability. Achievement comes from ordinary abilities applied with extraordinary persistence.
Ralph Marston

There is a thought in your mind right now. The longer you hold on to it, the more you dwell upon it, the more life you give to that thought. Give it enough life, and it will become real. So make sure the thought is indeed a great one.
Ralph Marston
Image
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
Image
Almost everyone does just enough to get by. Those who achieve spectacular success also do enough to get by then they add a little bit of extra effort. That little bit of extra effort makes an enormous difference.
Ralph Marston
Image
Feelings are determined by how one chooses to respond to various situations and events.
Ralph Marston
Image
Winners win not because they're allowed to, but because they decide to.
Ralph Marston
Image
Beset by a difficult problem? Now is your chance to shine. Pick yourself up, get to work and get triumphantly through it. The time you spend living in fear is time you cannot spend living in love. The time you spend hiding and retreating from life is time you cannot spend growing and advancing and achieving.
Ralph Marston
