![]() See it as an opportunity It’s only a limitation if you see it as a limitation. Choose to see it differently, and you’ll find a way around it. Many things influence your life and your work, often in negative and limiting ways. Nothing, however, can stop you from moving forward in each moment with positive purpose when you are committed to doing so. Instead of assuming that some factor in your life is a limitation, make a different assumption. Decide to see it as an opportunity to grow stronger. Instead of wallowing in disappointment when things don’t work out the way you planned, choose a different response. Choose to be more inspired, more motivated and more determined than ever before. Whatever has happened, has happened, and there’s nothing you can do to change that. What you can change, though, is what you do with it. Tell yourself it’s a good thing, and moving forward, you’ll find a way for it to be precisely that. Rather than seeing something as a limitation, see it as an opportunity and get busy living the value that is most certainly there. — Ralph Marston Read more at http://greatday.com/#88wqm0zLyG4mYmJV.99

Feel the greatness This is a great day to be alive. This is a great day to be who you are, where you are, and the way you are. On this day, you can begin by assuming the best. Then you can follow through and do everything in your power to make it happen. Today there will be all kinds of challenges and frustrations. And today, you can use each one of them as a way to grow stronger, more compassionate, more capable and more accomplished. This is a day that’s too unique and precious to waste. This is a day that’s filled with new and exciting possibilities for making a difference. Though there are certainly things to complain about, there is much more to be thankful for. Focus on the gratitude instead of the shortcomings, and you’ll invite today’s special flavor of abundance into your life. This is a great day to be positive, purposeful and filled with enthusiasm for all you can do. Feel all the potential greatness in this day, and get busy bringing it to life in your own special way. — Ralph Marston Read more at http://greatday.com/#cRlqbsfTL8f1U3XF.99

Involve yourself fully What will you do today to encourage your best possibilities? What will you do today to allow your great potential to be realized and fulfilled? There is unique value within you. You deserve to experience that value, and all of life deserves to benefit from it. That value flows out from you in the actions you take. The more passionately and sincerely you involve yourself in life, the more fully you’ll manifest that value. Give yourself over to the day, to the moment, to whatever you’re doing. Give your thoughts, your heart, your awareness and your passion to the miracle of being where you are right now. Involve yourself fully in the rich, amazing opportunity that is this moment. Remind yourself how truly great you have it, and commit yourself, again and again, to doing something meaningful with all you have. This is a great time, filled with spectacular possibilities that are ready to spring forth from your actions. Live, love and act with all you have, and feel the intense joy of giving your very best. — Ralph Marston Read more at http://greatday.com/#oJsOju7CA3q84vzK.99

Empowering perspective Whatever your problems may be, you’re not going to solve them by withdrawing from life. It may seem that life has beat you down, but that doesn’t mean you have to hide from it. The answer is not to give up on life. The answer is to give up your negative perspective. Success does not come from avoiding the difficult things. Success comes from transcending the difficulties while transforming them into positive value. Yes, it is painful to move forward when you feel that life is pushing against you. Yet what is even more painful is the regret you’ll feel if you don’t make the effort. Your attitude is always your choice. No matter what is happening on the outside, you can always maintain a powerful, positive outlook on the inside. Choose today to rise above whatever might be threatening to bring you down. Choose a perspective that empowers you, and use that power to do truly great things. — Ralph Marston Read more at http://greatday.com/#t867bkLi0y0gZUgi.99

Your job Today is already beautiful and full of promise. Your job is to make it great. There is already abundance in every direction. Your job is to make something valuable out of it. Today, you’ve been given so very much. Your job is to give it meaning. Choose today to make fewer judgments and to make more joy. Choose today to stop second guessing your intuition and to live the richness of your authentic purpose. You are standing right in the middle of a whole universe that’s filled with great possibilities. Let yourself feel the immensity of that opportunity, then step forward and do something wonderful with it. Your job today is to add new, meaningful experiences to the story of life. So get going, enjoy the challenges and the magnificent rewards your efforts will bring. — Ralph Marston Read more at http://greatday.com/#Z0Vssedo3GrHrD4a.99

Push you up Stand misfortune on its head. Turn it into something good. Don’t let the disappointments get you down. Let them get you going, even stronger than before. After all, life is how you look at it. Look at it all as an opportunity for grace and joy and fulfillment. Every single time you feel like complaining about how bad things are, there’s a much more powerful option. Visualize how truly good life can be and then take a bold, enthusiastic step in that direction. Every situation is a situation in which you can choose to prosper. Every challenge helps to form the structure upon which you can build grand and meaningful success. When anything pushes against you, choose to let it push you up. Every occasion is your occasion to brightly shine. — Ralph Marston Read more at http://greatday.com/motivate/090406....DUb5dj2gQsb.99

Focus on quality There is only so much quantity you can add to any aspect of your life. Yet there is no limit to the level of quality you can attain. Instead of doing something more and more, consider doing it better and better. Instead of increasing the quantity of what you consume or experience, consider raising the level of quality. Live richly rather than ravenously. Focus not on how much you have but rather on how well you make meaningful use of it. Let go of the wearisome need to have more and more. Embrace, enjoy and nurture your ability to give deeper meaning to what you already have. Even the little things can bring great joy. Even the small moments can make a big difference. Each moment is an opportunity to raise the level of quality in your life. Focus on quality, today and every day, and there is no limit to the richness you can experience. — Ralph Marston Read more at http://greatday.com/#ppZKgffwGuur718Y.99

Act in this moment Let yourself see the potential value in this moment. Open yourself to the opportunities in this day. You are immersed in a sea of abundance, and it is up to you to make meaningful value out of it. You have the power to make a positive difference, so allow yourself to do so. Take a moment to consider all the good and powerful possibilities that are within your reach right now. Remind yourself of what a shame it would be to let those possibilities go unfulfilled. This is a day that’s like no other, and a day that will never be here again. It’s a day that can add enormous value to your life and your world, but only if you make use of it while it’s here. Breathe in deeply, and fill your awareness with a fresh, invigorating sense of possibility. Feel your useful, beneficial power, and make the choice to immediately engage that power. Act in this moment, on this day, with love, purpose and passion. And capture the unique value that this day offers for all of life. — Ralph Marston Read more at http://greatday.com/#kLvTBtHLXI4Kshlt.99

Your own positive purpose Imagine letting go of all frustration, anger, resentment and worry. Feel the freedom. Imagine having no bitterness or envy, no anxiety and no fear. Imagine the immense positive power of not being held back by your negative feelings. That is all possible, and it is possible right now. You have imagined it, and you can just as surely live it. Sure, all sorts of disappointing, frustrating and disconcerting things happen on a daily basis. Yet there is no good reason to hold on to the negativity in your life. Choose instead to let it go. Choose instead to be driven by the power of your own positive purpose. This day is too precious and too full of opportunity to let it be contaminated by past negativity. Let it all go, and let yourself live the best life you can imagine, right now. — Ralph Marston Read more at http://greatday.com/#wXE4CCy8irkkquPh.99

Feel the connection Feel your connection to others. Feel your connection to all of life, and to all that is. Focus your awareness in a place where there is no conflict. Live at a place of acceptance and peaceful power. Realize that you can do no harm to others without doing harm to yourself. Realize that the goodness you give is the goodness you experience. Understand that your negative thoughts actually do create negative reality. See that your love does indeed make the world a better place. Choose to live from a higher perspective, at a higher level of energy than the problems. Rise above the meaningless distractions and invest your time and effort in what truly matters. Live each moment with the simple yet powerful idea that there is goodness and value to be found everywhere. Feel your connection with life’s goodness, and let it grow ever more abundant through your presence. — Ralph Marston Read more at http://greatday.com/#hjQ3oQLuVtucy0bA.99

Make the effort to make it happen Don’t just hope to get it done. Take the time and make the effort to make it happen. The things you get done are the things you make a specific time for in your schedule. If it’s important enough to be an intention, then it’s important enough to get it scheduled. Don’t relegate your valuable intentions to an open-ended to-do list. Put them on your calendar. There’s only so much time in each day, so scheduling your intentions will force you to prioritize them. That will help you make sure the most important things actually get done. Thoughts and intentions are important because they can define your direction. For your direction to actually matter, though, you must get yourself in motion. Go beyond wishing, hoping, planning and talking. Take the time, take the action, and get it done. — Ralph Marston Read more at http://greatday.com/#JRiQyvbydZr4Y5Lq.99

The power to choose The pains, disappointments and frustrations tug at you. And yet, you are infinitely more powerful than all of them put together. With your very next thought, you can rise above any kind of negativity. With your next action, you can begin to put real distance between yourself and whatever was bringing you down. You have the power to choose the way you see life, and the way you experience life. You can take whatever comes, and make something positive out of it. The more you make a conscious, intentional choice about how to live, the stronger you become at doing so. Over time, as you continue to exercise your power to choose, you add real richness and fulfillment to your life. Look at this day, with all its problems and challenges, and see the positive possibilities. Look inside yourself, and find the dreams, goals and desires that have the strength to push you forward. Choose to live a life of unique greatness, and to give that greatness to your world. In every moment you have the power to choose, so choose the very best. — Ralph Marston Read more at http://greatday.com/#u1Z5jBumqP7ccSiF.99

Your choice You can resent the amount of work you have to do. Or you can get busy and use it as an opportunity to create great value. You can see each setback as a fatal blow to the achievement of your dream. Or you can learn from all the ups and the downs and make the achievement of your dream all the more valuable as a result of each challenge. You can pounce upon each bit of bad news and extrapolate it to portend the end of the world. Or you can celebrate the fact that bad news is news only because it is so relatively rare. You can decide that everyone is out to get you and withdraw from life in fear. Or you can jump right into the tangled, confused, exciting and delightful mixture that every moment brings, and find real treasure in it all. You can sit and wait and complain and convince yourself that things will never get better. Or you can enthusiastically jump forward and make life the best it can be. Whatever the situation, whoever is involved, you always have a choice. Choose each time to express the authentic beauty of your being, and live in a world where life is so very good. — Ralph Marston Read more at http://greatday.com/motivate/090413....01jrK0mpbUF.99
