Strength You cannot always control the circumstances and events that surround you. Yet what you can always do is choose to meet them with strength. Strength adds value to where you are and what you do. Whether you’re being praised, prodded, attacked, or assisted, with strength you can respond in the most appropriate and positive manner. Strength is not the only quality necessary for a well lived life. Yet without strength the other qualities won’t get you very far. With strength you rise above your own pettiness and the pettiness of others. Strength focuses you on what matters most, and provides the effectiveness to pursue your highest priorities. Strength comes when you have a meaningful reason to exercise it. Strength endures when it is grounded in truth and authenticity. Every day brings multiple opportunities to strengthen your mind, body, spirit, your love and understanding. Seize upon the best of those opportunities, and work to become an ever stronger positive force in life. — Ralph Marston

Definitely now For the precious and unique life you are destined to live, consigning it to maybe someday is not good enough. Rather than maybe someday, definitely now is the time to move your life, your world, your hopes and values forward. Every day comes packed with promise and possibility. That absolutely includes this very day in which you can now take decisive action. Your amazing potential begs you to do precisely that. This is where, now is when. Here is the moment to fully recognize the depth of opportunity that permeates your world. Here is your moment to do something with it. Someday is merely a pleasant concept, nothing more. Yet now is a rich and solid reality, brimming with possibility, immediately available for action. Take that action, live your life. Do it definitely now. — Ralph Marston

Your next choice The quality of your life is determined by all choices large and small. Keep that in mind as you choose well, for every choice matters. Choose excellence over convenience. Choose reliability over opulence. Choose beauty over expediency. Choose enduring connections over momentary transactions. Choose truth over ease. Choose authenticity over appearance. Make the kinds of choices that bring real value now, and later, for you, and for all around you. Make the choices that enable you to avoid regret and to experience fulfillment. Your next choice is a turning point. Get clear right now about which direction you are committed to always turn. — Ralph Marston

Rise joyfully Stay away from those who promise to make things easy for you. Seek out those who respect you enough to challenge you. Avoid consenting to offers of something for nothing. Such situations always leave you with less than nothing. Be willing to pay the price that a life of quality and fulfillment demands. For precisely in that price is where the desired reward resides. Being rich is not a matter of how much you have. The experience of true richness is commensurate with how little you need. Take the time and open yourself to behold the massive extent and value of all that is, of all you’re connected to. The totality of existence is here now, with you, in you, around you, through you. Sense the energy and the miracle of what you’re participating in. For your sake, for everyone’s sake, rise joyfully to the magnificent occasion of today. — Ralph Marston

Realm of reality Reality is often not easy to accept. But it is ultimately easier for you, and better for you, to accept reality than to deny it. Because reality always wins. You also can win within the confines and conditions of reality, but you cannot win apart from it. Reality is the domain where you can get good things done. Reality does have its challenges, and by pushing through those challenges you create new value. Acknowledge the difference between how you wish the world could be and how it actually is. By doing so, you can spot opportunities for moving toward desirable outcomes. Look clearly, honestly, courageously at what is. Let all you see inform you and inspire you as you work toward your ideals for what can be. Give accuracy to your perceptions and effectiveness to your actions. Keep yourself firmly anchored in the realm of reality. — Ralph Marston

Say you will Intention shines a light on specific possibilities and opportunities. Express a particular intention, and you begin to find your way toward its fulfillment. Intention gathers your willingness and aims it all in the same direction. Intention energizes your skills and capabilities. Say you will, and mean it. Say you will, with seriousness and conviction, and you’re on your way to getting it done. Say you will, then begin right away to follow through. Express your intention with so much certainty and commitment that you’re compelled by your own determination to keep it alive. Transform your scattered dreams, preferences, and wishes into solid intentions. Decide what you will indeed do, and put the whole of yourself behind that decision. Say you will, then do more than just saying it. Make your intention, then make it happen. — Ralph Marston

Ready for opportunities Today will offer you opportunities. Are you able to recognize them, and prepared to make something out of them? A sense of meaningful purpose illuminates opportunities, letting you see them for what they are. Be clear about what you seek, and opportunities that otherwise would be invisible jump sharply into view. When you do see those opportunities, you’ll need a potent place where you can put them, nurture them, and bring them to fruition. That comes from establishing and maintaining structure, organization, and discipline in the way you live. If you’re searching for an automatic windfall that just brings vaguely defined goodies into your life, you won’t find opportunity. Yet when you have the clear intention of working to create specific value in the world, you’re sure to encounter numerous opportunities. Arrange your life so it can resonate with the kinds of opportunities that are meaningful to you. Invest yourself in being open to opportunities, and you’ll find yourself connecting with them. Opportunities are out there, and more are arising all the time. Be the person who can see them, who will do something with them, and the opportunities become yours. — Ralph Marston

Power to adapt All sorts of factors in your life and in your world keep changing from day to day, moment to moment. That can be a big problem for you, or it can be a great opportunity. You have the power to adapt to changing conditions. Make use of that power, and get the inevitable changes to work in your favor. A few hours from now, or next week, or the entire future, they’re all moving targets. The most carefully laid plans can become useless and outdated overnight. Yet that’s no reason to give up on your goals. On the contrary, it’s an opportunity to deploy your power to adapt. It might actually be that a changing situation offers even better possibilities than what existed before. Position yourself to fulfill the best of those possibilities by adapting to the changes. When your world changes, you could become immobilized with worry, you could waste time and energy complaining, or you can adapt. Let your power to adapt kick in, and be your best in an ever-changing world. — Ralph Marston

Awareness Maintain awareness not only of what can be seen. Stay aware also of the possibilities that could be hidden. Awareness involves being knowledgeable. It also involves being open to what exists beyond your knowledge. Countless generations of your ancestors honed their awareness in order to survive. Today, your own awareness gives you advantages in doing all you seek to do, in living the life you seek to live. It is literally good sense to make critical use of all your senses. Multiply that by filtering and amplifying your perceptions through your focus and experience. Look with clarity, listen with accuracy, read between the lines. Pay attention to the raw sensations and feelings, for they have their messages to convey. Your diligent awareness enables you to move through your world in the most successful manner. Be aware, and be ready to deal with whatever may come. — Ralph Marston

Time well spent Time is the most valuable resource available for you to invest. Pay close attention and give thoughtful intention to what you do with it. Consider the most fulfilling aspects of your life. They are all largely the result of how you’ve chosen to spend your time. Continue to be informed by those beneficial choices and experiences. Invest your time in ways that bring new richness to your world and to your life. An hour well spent can change your entire outlook for the better. A year well spent will send its positive echoes for decades, even centuries. Right now is the additional time you will one day wish to have. This is when you can actually do all sorts of things you’ll eventually wish you could still do. Make those future wishes a reality, and make those future regrets disappear before they ever arise. Invest your time in what’s good, in what’s life affirming, and in what truly matters, now. — Ralph Marston

Living values Thinking a kind thought is admirable. Offering a kind word at an opportune moment is better, and acting on your kindness, even more so. It’s a nice gesture to express your love. Yet it can be life-changing to put your love into practice. Your most treasured values aren’t just for talking about. They’re for living on a day-to-day basis. It can be easy to become resentful about people who don’t share your values. But whenever you feel such resentment take it as a cue to ask yourself, what specific actions are you taking to share those values? As demanding as it can be, living your values produces a very good feeling. Because your efforts are resonating with the truth of who you are. With the way you live each moment, generously extend your best values far beyond you. Serve as a constant conduit for authentic goodness, allowing it to grow more abundant. — Ralph Marston

Generosity into action What can you do today to be generous to yourself? What can you do today to be generous to others? Generosity gives you specific pathways to enhance your life. Generosity provides concrete opportunities to improve the lives of those around you. Genuine generosity is a positive experience for everyone it touches. And it rarely meets with any opposition. You can be generous with time, with respect, with material resources, with attention, skill, understanding, and wisdom. The possibilities for generosity are as abundant as your creativity and desire. Imagine how a small act of generosity could positively impact your experience right now. Imagine how inspired you would then be to expand upon it. Then go beyond imagining, and put generosity into action. Live in a world of its beneficial consequences. — Ralph Marston

Work on it How do you transform a pile of rocks into a magnificent castle? You work on it. How do you transform a rough idea for a story into a blockbuster motion picture? You work on it. Your life and your world are filled with untapped potential. Turning that potential into value is a matter of time, intention, focus, and effort. Achievement is relatively rare. Yet the raw materials for it are so abundant you cannot avoid encountering them. The path from what’s commonly available to what’s highly desirable goes through you and others like you. There’s a whole world of physical reality, ideas, needs, concepts, energy, techniques, and much more to work with. Value is created by effort. Think of all you can do right here, right now, to make some. — Ralph Marston

Driving purpose At your core, purpose drives you. Live true to that purpose, and you’ll bring power and persistence to your actions. There is a purpose that fulfills you. Find and understand that purpose, and you will achieve great and meaningful things. There is a purpose that is you. But how do you uncover that purpose? Learn to let go of all the distractions that ultimately have no lasting meaning. Look at life with the intention of seeing what you know, what is there, what is true, rather than what others insist you should see. Look beyond the fleeting, superficial concerns of fame, fortune and fashion. Focus instead on building real and timeless qualities such as value, wisdom and love. Seek that which is real, that which has substance, and the purpose that is yours becomes clear. Stay connected to your purpose, and live in the experience of its unmatched power. — Ralph Marston
