Ralph Marston

If you so choose, every mistake can lead to greater understanding and effectiveness. If you so choose, every frustration can help you to be more patient and more persistent.

What you do today can improve all your tomorrows.

Put your energy into building what is creative, valuable and empowering. And you won't have to constantly fight against what is destructive and draining.

Every day you spend drifting away from your goals is a waste not only of that day, but also of the additional day it takes to regain lost ground.

Your goals, minus your doubts, equal your reality.

Don't lower your expectations to meet your performance. Raise your level of performance to meet your expectations.

Don't lower your expectations to meet your performance. Raise your level of performance to meet your expectations. Expect the best of yourself, and then do what is necessary to make it a reality.

If you so choose, the challenges can make you stronger. If you so choose, the disappointments can make you more determined.

Enjoy doing nothing, and you can enjoy doing anything. Enjoy having nothing, and you can enjoy whatever you have.

Turn your attention for a while away from the worries and anxieties. Remind yourself of all your many blessings.

Excellence is not a skill, it's an attitude.

Let your mind see every detail of your own special version of the very best that life can be. If you could make the world exactly to your liking, consider very specifically just how that world would be. If you could spend your time doing precisely what you wish, how would the moments of your life be lived?
