A bit of kindness

Offer a bit of kindness to life today. Offer a bit of kindness, and discover how much it grows.

You’ll find plenty of opportunities to give kindness away, yet that kindness never goes away. The more you give kindness, the more there is.

Looking for a quick and accessible way to get yourself positively focused? Give a bit of kindness, and elevate your perspective to a more favorable, effective place.

There’s no limit to the goodness that will result when you give a bit of kindness. Each kindness takes on a life of its own, and can keep building upon itself long after you’ve forgotten about it.

Eventually, all those bits of kindness you give will come back to you. Though you won’t know exactly how, your world will be warmed by every kindness you offer.

Give a little bit of kindness, every chance you get. It’s a gift that never stops making life better.

— Ralph Marston

Putting it all to use

Today is your chance to do what you can, when you can, with what you have. Even the most difficult, complicated achievements come to life by completing one step at a time.

You’re smart enough to accept that whatever you’re doing will require some time and effort. Now is your opportunity to invest that time, to make that effort.

You already know the challenges will require persistence and diligence. And you’ve already discovered you have what it takes to keep going.

There’s always something you can do. And even if the going gets slow, you go ahead, because it’s a whole lot better than falling behind.

With every effort, new options open up to you. With every moment, the momentum grows stronger.

You have purpose, desire, integrity, ability and a love of making good things happen. On this day filled with unique possibility, enjoy putting it all to use.

Now is your chance

Now is your chance to be finally free of anything you’ve been doing to hold yourself back. Now is your chance to live in the way you most fondly imagine.

Now is your chance to make positive use of all that your experience has taught you. Now is your chance to put into practice your highest and best ideals.

Now is your chance to forgive, and to leave all the pain of the past in the past. Now is your chance to create new goodness with sincere, authentic, loving intention.

Now is your chance to put your highest hopes into action. Now is your chance to step boldly beyond the grip of your fears.

Now is your chance to see new possibilities, and to live them with everything in you. Now is your chance to encourage, to love, to give, to heal.

Somewhere deep within, you know how good and beautiful it can be to be you. Now is your chance to bring that vision fully to life.

Connected to it all

You are connected to all of existence. Choose always to make good use of that connection.

You are connected to people who can support and encourage you. Explore the connection, strengthen it, and build upon it.

You are connected to people who can benefit greatly from your presence, your attention, and your assistance. Be thankful for the opportunity, and continue to discover ways to make a difference in the lives of others.

You are connected to an endless abundance of resources, information, ideas, and energy. Step forward each morning with love, and with the intention of creating new, meaningful value from all that abundance.

Your awareness, your thoughts, your actions, are deeply connected to all that is. Every choice echoes endlessly through life, so make those choices with kindness and care.

Everything you do matters to everything that is. Do it well.

Deliver the best

Go always in the direction that makes life good. Your life is much too valuable to waste even a minute of it.

If a thought, activity, situation or choice doesn’t feel right, it probably isn’t. Let your discontent prompt you to find a more affirmative path.

Say yes to what strengthens you, excites you, challenges you to grow, and makes you feel fully alive. Let go of what holds you back, compromises your values, and lets you get away with not making a difference.

Take a great big, deep breath of possibility. Feel the confidence, feel the enthusiasm, feel the desire to give your best to life.

Decide right now to love the moment you’re in, just as it is, just as you are. Envision the highest use you can make of right now, and put that vision into action, right now.

You have every reason and every ability to make each day more fulfilling and life-affirming than the last. Expect the best of yourself, and deliver it.

Choose persistence

When you’ve done just enough, do a little more. Soon you’ll be far ahead.

When you’re making good progress, keep going. Take full advantage of your momentum.

When you feel like stopping, give yourself an enjoyable break. Then come back to your work with fresh energy and a renewed sense of purpose.

Persistence is not ever easy. Yet it is always yours to choose.

And persistence makes the difference between permanent regret and lasting achievement. Ask yourself often, which would you rather have?

Right now, on this task, in this place, you can persist. Do it, choose persistence, and you know you’ll always be thankful you did.

Keep choosing well

You’ve come this far by making some good choices. Going forward, keep choosing well.

No, of course you’re not perfect. No one is.

Yet experience has taught you what works for you and what doesn’t. You can use that experience to vastly improve your world.

No one has to remind you about the mistakes and poor choices you’ve made along the way. It would be great, however, for you to remind yourself of all you’ve done right.

Think of the good choices you’ve made and the positive results those choices have brought you. Let it inspire you to make many more positive choices that will bring even better results.

Every day is filled with choices and every choice is an opportunity for you. Keep choosing well, and keep bringing new goodness and value to life.

Don’t overthink it

Give good thought and consideration to what you’re about to do. But don’t overthink it.

It pays to make good use of your intelligence. Take care, however, that you don’t substitute thinking for doing.

If your thinking gets in the way of making a decision, you’re probably overthinking it. If your thoughts wander off from whatever you’re working on, you’re overthinking it.

Look at what you’re doing now, and aim your thoughts at doing it well. Think and analyze enough to do your best work, but not so much that you get hopelessly distracted by those thoughts.

You have the amazing ability to think, and it gives you great power. Apply that power in a positive, effective, and consistent direction.

Think, visualize, analyze and imagine. Then get to work, and put those great things you’ve been thinking about into action.

Rich in life

Look at yourself today, and see how much stronger you’ve grown. Consider all the value that has accumulated in your life.

What once blocked your path now forms the path. What previously was weakness, you’ve transformed into strength.

Through every experience you’ve added skill, wisdom, new perspective. Each moment of life has deepened your love, clarified your purpose.

Time, trouble, joy, challenge, frustration, curiosity, caring, boredom and excitement have all deposited value that’s now yours. Imagine the good things you can now do with what you now have.

Imagine, without limit, without guilt or fear or worry. Imagine, then put that imagination into action.

Today you are rich in life, more than ever before. Live the richness, express the richness, share it, delight in it and make good use that creates much, much more.

— Ralph Marston

From this moment on

From this moment on, you don’t have to let anyone else’s opinion have any influence on the way you live your life. From this moment on, you can make every choice based on your highest, most treasured values.

From this moment on, you can let go of all worries about what might or might not happen. From this moment on, you can drop all your resentment and anguish about what’s already in the past.

From this moment on, your life can be as good as you choose to make it. From this moment on, you can persistently stick with your commitment to live the best life you can imagine.

Today your wisdom is greater than it’s ever been. Today, you have more experience than at any other point in your life so far.

So today, and from now on, you’re able to make the most of all that. From this moment on, you can expect the best, and live up to those expectations.

From this moment on, the possibilities are beautiful and amazing. Let this be the day you choose to live at a higher level than ever before.

Have fun with life

Have fun with your work. Have fun with your play.

Have fun with your obligations and responsibilities. Have fun with all the other great people in your life.

A job you must do is only a chore if you make it a chore. You can just as readily and realistically make it fun.

With what you’re asked to do, with what you choose to do, have fun. Your attitude, after all, is yours to control.

Make it an attitude that will make you more effective. Make it an attitude that will make life more enjoyable.

Wherever you find yourself, whatever you’re doing, have fun. It’s your life after all, so smile, and laugh, and really enjoy the ride.

You can handle it

When life throws you a challenge, relax. You can handle it.

It won’t be easy, and it will demand a great deal of your time and effort. Yet you can handle it, and when you do you’re likely to be better off than before the challenge arrived.

Look back, and you’ll see that some of the best times in your life were also some of the most challenging times. When you have no choice but to be your best, you always come through.

So go ahead and walk confidently up to whatever challenging obstacle has just dropped onto your path. You’ve done this before, and now is your opportunity to do it again.

Let your thoughts rise above the challenge, and envision how much new value you’ll be able to create. Then take a deep breath, count your many blessings, and get to work.

Go ahead, feel the power of knowing you can handle it. And keep putting that power into action.

Better approach

When one approach doesn’t work, there’s another one that will. Learn, adjust, adapt, explore, discover, innovate, and create that better approach.

When your plan doesn’t bring the desired results, that’s no reason to give up. Instead, work to develop a new plan and put that plan into action.

When the rain starts falling, continue the party inside. When the wind shifts direction, adjust the trim of your sails.

Decide to make improvements rather than excuses. Choose to find the path that gets you there instead of complaining about the dead ends you’ve encountered.

What matters most is what you intend to do, and why. Be clear about that and committed to that, and willing to adapt as necessary.

Choose not to wallow in disappointment or defeat. There’s a better approach, and you can make the most of it.

— Ralph Marston

Peaceful pause

Take time often to give yourself a long, sustained experience of peace. Let go of all cares, concerns, pressures, and let yourself enjoy the pure experience of being.

There is much you wish to accomplish, problems to solve, goals to achieve, and that’s great. But you can’t be going and doing nonstop all the time or you’ll burn yourself out.

You deserve a peaceful pause. Give yourself one regularly, and often.

At some point, efforts stacked on top of efforts begin to yield diminishing returns. Before you reach that point, stop and refresh your body, mind, and spirit with a time of peace and rest.

Just because you can always stay connected and engaged, doesn’t mean it’s in your best interest, or anyone else’s, to do so. Make your efforts more productive, more creative, more effective, by taking a regular break from them.

Allow time and space for a refreshing sense of peace to wash over you, to cleanse you, to fill you with new energy and purposefulness. Breathe deeply, relax fully, be at peace.

— Ralph Marston
