1月19日 know it is possibleKnowing that something is possible is a significant step toward achieving it. As soon as you know, without a doubt, that you can achieve it, in many ways you immediately begin to benefit from it.
Of course achievement requires more than just knowing you can do it. You must actually take the steps which will make it happen. However, those efforts come much more readily when you know that they will surely lead where you desire to go.
Look at all the things others have achieved. Consider everything you have already accomplished. Know that what you desire is possible. Convince yourself of it. See yourself living it in every detail. Fully and sincerely expect it, and you're well on the way to having it.
Ralph S. Marston, Jr. 1月12日 be thankfulBe thankful for this day, and you will fill it with joy. Be appreciative of those around you, and they will bring much value to your life. Be grateful for your opportunities, and you'll find yourself making the most of them.
Be thankful for what you have, and you'll get more from it. Be grateful for the challenges, and they will help you become stronger. Appreciate the dark, cloudy days and they'll instantly become brighter. Appreciate the sunny days, and you'll enjoy them even more.
Those things you take for granted will fade from usefulness as you forget they're even there. By contrast, those things for which you're thankful remain readily available and will grow even stronger as a result of your appreciative attention.
Consider how very fortunate you are. Consider it often. The more you count your blessings, the more there will be to count.
Ralph S. Marston, Jr.
12月29日 enjoy itHere's a suggestion that will make today a great day. Find a way to look forward to and enjoy everything that you must do today. That's easy to say, but is it really possible? Of course. First, there are things you will genuinely enjoy doing. You should have no problem looking forward to them. That leaves all the other things -- those tasks which may be unpleasant or uncomfortable or otherwise undesirable. The good news is that you can look forward to them with even more anticipation, because rather than looking forward to doing them you can genuinely look forward to having them done and behind you.
For everything you must do today, you can either look forward to doing it or look forward to getting it done. Whatever the case, the ultimate outcome is enjoyable, no matter what the task may be. And when you enjoy what you're doing, you naturally become more effective at it.
Look forward to everything, enjoy doing it or having it done, and you'll make it a great day.
Ralph S. Marston, Jr. 12月19日 filled with lifeYou are constantly in the process of becoming. You are constantly in the process of growing, no matter what your age or what you've already been through. At the end of this day you will not be quite the same person you were when you woke up. You will have learned new things, lived through new experiences, known some new accomplishments and some disappointments.
Today is your opportunity to mold yourself and to direct your life. The person you are tomorrow will depend on how you live each moment of today. It's a serious responsibility and a great opportunity.
The moments of this day may seem quite ordinary as you go through them. Yet every day is important, every moment is special and vital. They are your opportunities to live, to love, to grow, to learn, to accomplish, to become, to fulfill.
Rather than just looking at this day as another one to endure, see in it the wondrous amount of living with which it can be filled. Give today your best, and its golden treasures will be yours.
Ralph S. Marston, Jr. 11月24日 build confidenceThe way to find confidence is to look for challenge. Rock solid confidence and lasting self esteem cannot be handed to you, no matter how well intentioned your benefactor may be. Confidence and self esteem come from the direct experience of meeting challenges.
Confidence is well worth the trouble. With confidence in yourself, anything is possible. But confidence cannot be created out of nothing. Try to do that and you'll only get arrogance, a poor substitute which crumbles at the first tough challenge.
Confidence must be built. Just as strong muscles are built by lifting heavier and heavier weights, confidence is built by taking on bigger and bigger challenges.
Don't shy away from challenge. Welcome it. Seek it out. It will teach you. It will discipline you. It will give you valuable experience. And it will build in you something which can help take you wherever you wish to go - confidence.

10月25日 look aheadA major source of discouragement is the mistaken assumption that the future equals the past. It is difficult indeed to keep going when previous experience has produced so much disappointment. But the fact is that life does not have to follow a straight line. At any point, it is possible to change direction.
Great accomplishments often come on the heels of bitter disappointments. Rather than assuming that you're doomed by your past, consider all the ways you can create a bright future.
Each day, each moment is a new opportunity, independent of what has gone before. Learn what you can by looking back, but spend the bulk of your time and attention looking forward.
The past may be full of despair, but you don't have to live there anymore. Your new home is being built in the future, and you can make it as wonderful as you wish.
Ralph S. Marston, Jr. 10月21日 find treasure today
Ralph S. Marston, Jr. 10月2日 give life

9月23日 d e p t hThe depth of a soul
is not measured by what appears on the surface, but what lies in the heart. 8月31日 something to admireWhatever you find in others, becomes a part of you. When you criticize and find fault in someone, it only serves to bring you down. How could you possibly profit from embracing and expanding the negative?
When you admire someone, you share in their accomplishment. The things you admire in others will grow strong within yourself. The respect you give to others will bring more respect to you. The love in your life will grow to the extent that you give it away.
Your thoughts determine the quality of your life, so why would you want to focus them on the shortcomings of others? Instead, look for ways to admire and respect the very best in the people around you. That will bring out the best in you.
Ralph S. Marston, Jr.

Today I share with you some quotes from Oprah I have come upon them thanks to my friend Karen
“Happiness is never something you get from other people. The happiness you feel is in direct proportion to the love you give.”
“Our beliefs can move us forward in life - or they can hold us back.”
“It’s up to each of us to get very still and say, ‘This is who I am.’ No one else defines your life. Only you do.”
“It’s not easy being grateful all the time. But it’s when you feel least thankful that you are most in need of what gratitude can give you.”
“Failure is just a way for our lives to show us we’re moving in the wrong direction, that we should try something different.”
“If you make a choice that doesn’t please your mate, friends, or whoever, the world will not fall apart.”
“Your life is a journey of learning to love yourself first and then extending that love to others in every encounter.”
“If you don’t know what your passion is, realize that one reason for your existence on earth is to find it.”
“The truth is that which feels right and good and loving. Love doesn’t hurt. It feels really good.”
“Every day brings a chance for you to draw in a breath, kick off your shoes, and dance.”
“If you feel incomplete, you alone must fill yourself with love in all your empty, shattered spaces.”
“Listen. Pay attention. Treasure every moment.”
Have a wonderful Sunday : )
