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.

More quotes by Ralph Marston
Your life is constantly nourished by your thoughts. Whatever the direction your life is moving, your thoughts have led you there.
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
When your reasons to move forward outweigh your excuses for staying put, you will move forward.
Ralph Marston
The fundamental challenge of achieving anything you wish is first to convince yourself to do it. Once you are totally convinced of its value, you'll find a way to get it done.
Ralph Marston
Being positive does not mean ignoring the negative. Being positive means overcoming the negative.
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
Excellence is not a skill. It is an attitude.
Ralph Marston
Don't waste time on excuses. Just get it done.

Ralph Marston
Even when there seems to be nothing else, there is hope.
Ralph Marston
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
Your life is magnificent not because someone says it is, but because you choose to see it as such
Ralph Marston
What you are longing for is longing for you.
Ralph Marston
Do what is right, and you'll have no lasting regrets. Do what is right, and put yourself on the side of truth, goodness, and the best of life.
Ralph Marston
What you hold in your heart, you will see in your world.
Ralph Marston
Feelings come and feelings go. There is no need to fear them and no need to crave them. Be open to your feelings and experience them while they are here. Then be open to the feelings that will come next. Your feelings are a part of your experience. Yet no mere feeling, however intense it may seem, is your permanent reality.
Ralph Marston
Give your best to the challenges. And what you get will be even better.
Ralph Marston
Those who are passionate about what they do have an advantage that is nearly impossible to overcome. In passion there is energy, creativity, resilience and persistence. Passion will get it done.
Ralph Marston
Being positive in a negative situation is not naive. It's leadership.
Ralph Marston
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
