![]() Step right up Step right up to life today and throw yourself into it. Open your eyes, open your heart, open your mind, open your arms and open your life to all that’s possible. You have a deep-seated desire to be passionate, so light up that passion right now. Let it energize every part of you. There is much to explore, much to create, and much to experience. There are things to be learned, challenges to be transformed into value, and connections to be made with others who share your passion for living. Take stock of all the goodness, all the opportunities, all the powerful tools and resources available to you. Then take action, and make good and meaningful use of it all. This is a day to live at your highest level. This is your chance to live in such a positive, purposeful way that you can look back on it with satisfaction and gratitude. Go ahead, and fully engage the living passion that is unique to you. Step right up, confidently, enthusiastically, and experience how great it feels to give your best to life. — Ralph Marston Read more at http://greatday.com/#CTbA1OYLO3CDxlOS.99

The very best of them Every reality begins as a possibility. The most wonderful, enjoyable, fulfilling things you can imagine are possibilities for you, and when you live your life in such a way as to bring about those possibilities, they become reality. Today you are going to take a certain set of possibilities and turn them into reality. Those possibilities that indeed become real are the ones you choose to follow and to support with your time, your attention, your commitment. There is really no limit to the possibilities from which you can choose, but there is a limit to how many you can follow at any given time. So it pays to choose the very best of them. Is that what you’re doing? Are you choosing and giving your energy to the best of your possibilities, or are you just settling for the ones that fall into your lap? Right this moment there are some certain, specific possibilities that are being made real as a result of what you’re doing, or what you’re neglecting to do. This is your opportunity to choose and to create the life to which you aspire, right now while the possibilities are being transformed into reality. Give your time and your energy to the very best of your possibilities, and take delight as your life follows right along. — Ralph Marston Read more at http://greatday.com/motivate/021102....11TbwxQxt81.99

Ability You can do what must be done. You can articulate what must be said. You can endure whatever difficulties may come. You can understand and adapt to conditions that constantly change. It is amazing what you have the ability to do. It is beautiful when you choose to make something meaningful and valuable out of all those abilities. You can learn from what happens, adapt to what changes, and persevere through whatever may come. You can assemble together new and creative things that the world has never seen. Remind yourself how great it feels to make a difference in your own life and in the lives of others. Then harness your powerful abilities and do it. Regardless of the situation, you can add real value. That’s an outstanding ability, and it’s yours to use right now. — Ralph Marston

Good will come of it Whatever happens, decide that good will come of it. Decide that good will come of it, and you’re well on your way to making that goodness a reality. The past cannot be changed, and yet the future is up to you. March boldly into that future with an empowering perspective. Make the commitment to make a positive, purposeful difference. Visualize the most favorable outcome, consistently aligning your thoughts and actions in the direction of that goal. Everything that happens gives you new raw material and energy with which to work. Choose to transform that energy in a way that is beneficial for everyone concerned. Transform what is negative and undesirable into what is positive and helpful. Transform what is already good and valuable into even greater value. Live each day with the confidence of knowing that good will come of it. Good will come of it, because you are committed to making it so. — Ralph Marston

Foggy morning You’ve walked the route a hundred times before, and yet one early morning it is radically different. There is a thick fog in the air, and suddenly the world is not the same. Though the trees, the buildings, the lights and the roads are where they have always been, on a foggy morning you experience them in a new way. Simply because there’s an excess of moisture in the air, you cannot help but see the world differently. The fog changes your perspective. And because of that change in perspective, life can feel more frightening, or adventurous, mysterious, or invigorating. The objective reality of life is important. But what matters more to you is your perspective, because your perspective determines the way you experience reality. Although there are limits to the ways you can change reality, there are no limits on how you can change your perspective. Your response to any situation can be improved by choosing a motivating, empowering perspective. Success comes not from what you get, but from what you think about it and do with it. Raise your perspective to the most positive one you can imagine, and your life will reflect that choice. — Ralph Marston

Going with what you feel Sometimes what you’re about to do just feels right, in a way you are sure of but cannot explain. Pay attention to that feeling, for in it is wisdom accumulated through all your experience. Other times, what you’re doing feels wrong, not for any particular reason but just because. That is an almost certain indication it is not right for you. Reason and logic provide valuable guidance and reliably lead to magnificent achievements. Sometimes, though, it is best to step back from the purely reasonable and go with what you feel. The best person to know when that is appropriate is you. At some level, you know how authentic, how honest, and how well advised your feelings are. Though you may not even realize it, you are highly skilled at recognizing patterns. And many times you can feel those patterns much more clearly than you can articulate them. Go forward based on objective reality, on reason and logic, on the facts available to you, but don’t go against your feelings. Go with what feels right, and make use of the wisdom within you that grows more profound with every experience. — Ralph Marston

Here is your time Time is passing, but you don’t have to let it pass you by. Time is passing, and that’s an opportunity. With each minute that comes, there comes the chance to make life more valuable and rewarding. As time goes by, you can cleverly use it to go forward. An hour from now, you can be more knowledgeable, more highly skilled, better connected with others, more experienced, motivated, and purposeful. A year from now, you can be so far ahead of where you are today that it’s truly amazing. Time is an immensely valuable resource, and it is flowing into your life right now. When you make full and resolute use of it, anything is possible. Do you realize how fortunate you are to have the time you have right now? Celebrate your good fortune by making it even better, by using this moment to increase the value of all the future moments. Here is your time. Use it well. — Ralph Marston

Imagine that Imagine that life is what you think of it. What would you think? Imagine that anything is possible to achieve. What would you achieve? Imagine that there are no limitations. How would you find fulfillment? Imagine that you can see the immense value hidden in every challenge. How diligently would you work to bring that value to life? Imagine that the future is yours to create in whatever way you wish. What way do you wish? Imagine all the possibilities that are here right now. What will you do with them? — Ralph Marston Read more at http://greatday.com/#WjkUdDF84YdJaLZG.99

Success is not a secret Success is not a secret. It is a choice, a choice that is made over and over again. The choice that brings success and achievement is more than a one-time event. It is a choice that is integrated into every moment of life. It’s one thing to decide upon a course of action and then leave it at that. Such a strategy will leave you with nothing but empty wishes and good intentions. Real achievement comes from choosing to achieve, again and again, moment after moment, until the goal is attained. Real achievement comes from choosing to achieve, and then continually reaffirming that choice with action. Choosing success is really quite easy. To actually reach that success, just keep on choosing it. Keep on choosing, and acting on that choice, for as long as necessary. And anything is within your reach. — Ralph Marston

Positive focus What you continually focus on affects the way you feel. They way you feel has a major influence on the direction and effectiveness of your actions. Keep your focus on the positive possibilities and opportunities, and you will feel great. Feel great, and you will achieve great things. In your mind, make the disappointments so small that they eventually fade away. In your mind, enlarge the positive possibilities to the point where you cannot help but bring them into being. The way you see life sets the stage for the way you interact with life. So choose, in each moment, to see life in the best possible light. That doesn’t mean you must be oblivious to reality. Be fully in tune with reality while directing your focus toward its most promising aspects. Use your positive focus to produce positive action. And use your positive action to create the life you truly wish to live. — Ralph Marston

You have a choice You can choose, so choose to live in harmony with what you value and appreciate. You can choose, so choose to be purposeful, persistent and effective. You can choose, so choose a life of goodness and fulfillment. You can choose, so choose happiness. Others will attempt to convince you that you’re unable to choose what’s best for you. Yet you know better. You know that you have a choice in every moment. Life proceeds according to the way you choose to live it, so choose to live it with purpose, integrity and joy. You can choose your attitude, your perspective, your response, your actions and your outlook. Feel your purpose and in every matter, in every situation, make the choices that express that purpose. Whatever happens, you have a choice. Use that power of choice now, and again and again, to make life rich and truly fulfilling. — Ralph Marston

Growing ever richer Nature’s colors turn warm when the weather begins to cool. Red leaves, orange, yellow and brown settle to the ground as shadows grow longer and days become shorter. One season draws to a close as another one begins to appear. The world itself gives a reminder to treasure what has been while working to create new goodness, new experiences and new value. It can be difficult to let go of what has become so familiar. Yet in that choice to move on, is the promise of new beauty and a life that’s more meaningful. In the softly glowing ember of autumn is the sure and eventual birth of a vibrant explosion of springtime. By letting go and moving confidently forward, we enable life to grow ever richer. Seasons change, again and again, and with each change life renews itself, becoming stronger and more robust. From the old, a new world is born, giving fresh life and energy to treasured hopes and dreams. Look around and witness the magnificent spectacle. Join in, and let your spirit be energized by new life coming to life. — Ralph Marston

Creative and resourceful Don’t get mad; get creative. Don’t get frustrated; get resourceful. There is a workable way past whatever is threatening to make you angry. There is opportunity in those situations that pull you toward frustration. Life is a creative experience, and the universe is an abundant place. Combine those realities together and what you get is value. Instead of feeling sorry for yourself, feel the energy of your own capability. When the breaks don’t go your way, remind yourself that there’s much you can do to set things straight. Whatever challenges you, can also motivate you. Whatever pushes against you, can make you stronger and more determined. Be the creative, resourceful, positive and effective person you know you can be. And know the confidence of seeing yourself move forward no matter what. — Ralph Marston

Energy level Again and again, you’ve seen that some things raise your energy level and other things deplete your energy. So here’s a reminder to get yourself as often as possible into those energy boosting situations and stay away from whatever drains you. Sure, that is easier said than done. Even so, it bears repeating and is important to always keep in mind. When you have a choice, as you very often do, put yourself in places, with people, doing activities that increase your positive energy. Even a small and temporary jump in your energy level can have far reaching effects. If there’s something that gets you down, stop complaining about it. Stop complaining, and get yourself cleanly away from it. If there’s something that makes you enthusiastic, creative and energetic, stop merely wishing for it. Go beyond the wishing and figure out how to make it a part of your life more often. You can live an energetic and fulfilled life every day. Just make the choices, based on what you already know and feel, to put much more good, positive energy into your experience. — Ralph Marston

Real, fulfilling life Life gives to you what you give to life. The way you experience life depends on the way you choose to live it. If you act according to your own greed, you will suffer from the greed of others. If you live with hatred you will be the recipient of hatred. When you live out of a sense of authentic love, you will receive love from others. Live with true respect, and you will be truly respected. You cannot possibly get the good things you do not wish to give. You cannot possibly avoid receiving in return whatever it is you offer to life. A puzzle that is solved for you is really not any fun. A life that is lived for you is no life at all. Make your own way, shoulder your own burdens, and give your very best in every moment. That is real, fulfilling life, and it is priceless. — Ralph Marston
