Value of challenge

Attempt what you’ve never before attempted. Challenge yourself, even if for nothing more than the value of the challenge itself.

That value is open ended. Your possibilities for new discovery have no limit.

There’s much you’re unaware of, that you don’t even know you’re unaware of. Diving into new challenges will push you in getting up to speed in some of those areas.

Expand your knowledge, your skills, your competence by choosing challenges that interest you, that entice you. You’re sure to encounter beneficial ways to make use of the capabilities you gain.

You know from past experiences how profoundly you can boost your confidence by working through a difficult challenge. Choose to add more such experiences.

Nurture yourself with a new challenge. It’s a great use of your time that can pay dividends far into the future.

— Ralph Marston

Good work to do

You’ll find great satisfaction in assessing what exists, what’s available, and improving upon it. You’re able to render a wide variety of objects and situations more beautiful, more useful, more accessible, understandable, and enjoyable.

Not everything is in need of such transformation. Yet there’s always something in your world that is.

You have the opportunity to appreciate and to be thankful for all the goodness that surrounds you. And on top of that, each day you have the opportunity to refine and expand on that goodness.

What’s broken can be made to work again. What exists only as a good idea can be brought into beneficial reality.

What’s already valuable, you can make even more valuable. What’s been lost, tarnished, or underappreciated, you can bring back to prominence, beauty, and usefulness.

The opportunities are many, and they’re all around. Seek to humbly make something better with your attention and effort, and you’ll have no shortage of good work to do.

— Ralph Marston

Put imagination into action

If you knew how close you are to making progress, you’d keep up the effort. But you don’t know, and that can be discouraging.

You can, however, do another powerful thing. You can imagine.

Imagine that a breakthrough is just a few minutes away. Imagine you’ve reached the goal and are filled with gratitude for your own persistence.

Imagine, then put that imagination into action. Imagine, and what you imagine will energize and drive you to make it real.

Transform the negative energy of doubt into the positive energy of action and achievement. Imagine in detail your desired outcome and let yourself be inspired by it.

There’s power in your thoughts. Make use of that power to bring about the breakthroughs and the results you seek.

— Ralph Marston

Problems and opportunities

Every ending is followed by a new beginning. With every disappointment comes a fresh opportunity for success.

In every mistake you get a valuable lesson to be learned. Every setback places you in a new position from which to move forward.

Along with every frustration comes the energy to move to a higher level of achievement. Every challenge compels you to develop a new strategy for taking action.

With every time of darkness comes the chance to make a difference by shining your own special light. With every sadness comes a deeper appreciation for the joys that life can hold.

Every difficulty can push you upward to a new level of strength. Every loss provides an increased determination to win.

Though life has many pitfalls and problems, there can be a positive side to nearly every one of them. Choose to see and live that positive reality, and no problem will be a problem for long.

— Ralph Marston

Good luck

Luck is often seen as a cause. But almost always it is an effect.

Luck does not make anything happen. It describes what has already happened, which is to say, you make your own luck.

Luck is not a mysterious, arbitrary force. It happens for very real reasons.

Some factors in life you have control over, and other things you have little or no control over. Both affect the amount and direction of luck you perceive.

You can sway the balance decidedly in your favor by making sure those things under your control are pushing you forward. Though circumstances outside your control will not always be ideal, you can make sure the factors you do control will trend in your favor.

Through a positive focus, discipline, preparation, effort, and persistence, anyone can get lucky. Good luck is yours when you work your way toward it.

— Ralph Marston

Live your life well

Live your life well today, with no apologies. Make your way through the world, embracing responsibility for your own actions and consequences.

You have unique value, a worthwhile and authentic perspective. Share that value, express that perspective.

It’s great to deepen your understanding of others, and to generously give of your spirit. But that’s no reason to become a slave to anyone else’s opinion of you.

Open yourself to all the possibilities. Summon the courage and the discipline to follow the ones that have the most meaning to you.

Take a little bit of risk, do what initially feels uncomfortable. Life is yours today to be lived in all its richness, and much of that richness exists outside what’s become all too familiar.

Now is your opportunity for unique and enriching experience. Make it count, make it memorable, give the best of yourself and make it great.

— Ralph Marston

Vision for the future

Create good reasons to look forward. You, your community, and your world all thrive on such reasons.

What’s already happened has happened, and there’s nothing you can do to change that. The future, however, is wide open, and largely determined by what you decide to make of it.

That decision comes from your vision, informed by all you treasure and all you seek to do with it. It revolves around the specific life experiences you wish to create, share, and encourage.

To develop and expand such a vision is not easy. And it’s likely you can get by, at least for a while, without it.

Yet to honor and fulfill the unique and precious value that is your life, vision is a solid necessity. Though you can survive for a while without a vision for the future, you are capable of so much more than mere existence and survival.

Look forward, see the reality of what’s possible, and focus on the most beneficial and enriching outcomes. That gives you power to successfully deal with what is, and to favorably shape what can be.

— Ralph Marston

Go ahead now

Today brings great promise. Begin now to fulfill that promise.

Your most persistent thoughts will result in action and your most effective actions will be transformed into accomplishments. It all gets set in motion by your intention and your attitude.

There are good reasons for all you love, all you care about, all you dream about creating, sharing, and experiencing. Here and now, let those reasons encourage you to bring new goodness to life.

This is the time that you have to work with. This is the moment in which you have the immeasurable good fortune to live.

As big as the problems may seem, they are only a small fraction of the possibilities. Today is when you can choose to follow the best of those possibilities.

Everything in your life has been leading up to this moment. Go ahead now, and continue to more richly experience and fulfill the life you were born to live.

— Ralph Marston

Go beyond

Look beyond what angers you and you’ll see what teaches you. Move on beyond what saddens you and you’ll encounter things that bring you joy.

Venture out beyond what irritates you and you’ll enter into situations that empower you. Learn to see past what frustrates you and begin to uncover what drives you.

Beyond what worries you is the realm of what inspires you. Go beyond what frightens you and you’ll engage in experiences that strengthen you.

Seeing the good in life is a matter of looking beyond the distractions, frustrations and disappointments. Beyond what is superficial, fleeting and negative, you’ll connect with what has substance, what endures, what truly matters.

Go beyond your first impression. Look beyond the surface.

When it feels that the whole situation is stacked against you, look beyond. Go beyond, and find all the real, positive, enduring value that life has to offer.

— Ralph Marston

Take a breath

You crash against the wall of someone else’s incompetence. Take a breath, and put it in perspective.

You’re frustrated by all the work you have to do and the obstacles that stand in your way. Take a breath, and let that frustration fall away.

Take a breath, and turn your attention toward all you are thankful for. Consider the many possible good experiences you have to look forward to.

Refuse to get caught up in resentment for factors you cannot change. Take a breath, and feel all the potential goodness that lives inside you.

Inspire yourself by imagining the many ways you can express that goodness in the real world. Inspire others by acting on what you imagine to make it happen.

When the world’s confusion pulls your awareness away from who you are, what you care about and why, take a breath. Give yourself the chance to get back where you truly belong.

— Ralph Marston

Clear and present purpose

Start the day strong. Start it with purpose.

As you work your way through the hours, make them mean something. Live them with clear and present purpose.

Keep your focus on meaningful, positive purpose. You’ll keep the value and the accomplishments coming.

Continue to remind yourself of what you intend to do and why. Claim all the moments of your life and fill them with richness.

With purpose, you can push through the distractions, interruptions, and conflicts. With purpose, you give meaning to the joys, the victories, the challenges, to every experience.

Choose purpose now, and stick with it. Connect with the meaning that is your life, and keep the goodness flowing.

— Ralph Marston

Where your thoughts go

Put your thoughts where they will do the most good. Focus them on creating and expanding upon what’s positive and desirable.

You wouldn’t spend your hard-earned money buying things you didn’t want or need. It’s important to be just as discerning with the power of your thoughts.

Sure, you can’t help but notice the negative things in life, and often you must deal with them. But that doesn’t mean you must dwell on them.

Choose instead to direct as much of your thinking as possible toward goodness and value and richness. Fill your thoughts with the best possibilities and with consideration for how to bring those possibilities to life.

Where your thoughts go, your priorities, your actions, and your life will follow. Think kindness, generosity, achievement, excellence, and give real energy to the values you cherish.

Every thought has an impact. Point as many of your thoughts as you can in meaningful and beneficial directions.

— Ralph Marston

The choice is yours

Do you want people to trust you, or do you want to take advantage of them? You can’t have both.

Do you want people to respect you, or do you want them to feel sorry for you? You can’t have both.

Do you want to speak and act and feel superior to others, or do you want to be genuinely admired, perhaps even loved? You can achieve one or the other, but not both.

Do you want to impress people with your style and fame and fortune, or do you want to be truly happy and fulfilled? You can focus your energy and resources on one, but not both.

Every day, every effort, every priority, every interaction is a choice. Those choices add up to the life you live.

How do you want your life to unfold from this day forward? The choice is yours.

— Ralph Marston
