Fill it well

Fill your mind with thoughts of what’s possible. Fill your day with action.

Fill your heart with love and with gratitude. Fill your world with goodness.

Fill your spirit with awe and wonder. Fill your moments with meaning.

Fill your attitude with enthusiasm. Fill your life with new value.

What you put in determines what you experience. Put in plenty of the good stuff, the positive stuff, the rich and meaningful stuff.

Life unfolds according to the energy with which you fill it. Fill it always with the best you have.

-Ralph S. Marston

Able to give

If you don't give value in return for value, your life gets out of balance. If all you do is take, that takes a big toll on you.

Getting something for nothing is not something you want. It may seem good on the outside, but it will tear you up on the inside.

Tokens of achievement are a poor substitute for being a person who does the achieving. The goodies alone will not fulfill your deep-seated desire to make a difference.

Take a continuing, active role in your own fulfillment. Anything less is not true fulfillment at all.

Jump at the opportunities to create value. Get away from people who promise or who seek something for nothing.

Your heart wants to be able to give. Do yourself a favor, and let it.

-Ralph Marston

Deep tranquility

Breathe in slowly, deeply, then calmly let it out. As you do, relax your life down to its core.

Feel warm, soft release as tension melts gently away. Experience deep tranquility as you focus on the beauty of right now.

Take the opportunity to remember who you are. In this moment, bring your dreams close enough to touch, to admire, to energize you.

Keep breathing slowly, deeply, gently. Although your concerns are all real, none of them have to compromise the peaceful, inner you.

Now, here, experience the positive power that is always with you. Renew your understanding of how you can harness that power to do good.

Linger a while in this state of serene empowerment. Then step forward into the world, and transform it with your love.

-Ralph S. Marston

You are needed

Because you’ve achieved, you now have the chance to do it again. Because you’ve persisted, you now can gain great value from continuing to persist.

Did you think this would be easy? Did you think you would be able to make one leap and then never have to make any effort again?

That’s not the way it works, and you wouldn’t want it to anyway. What gives richness to your life is the opportunity to participate, again and again, in making good things happen.

You are needed, you are necessary, you are in demand as someone who can make a difference. Consider what a blessing that is, and then think of what you can do about it.

All your effort has bought for you the opportunity to make even greater effort. That’s a very good and desirable thing.

You are needed to make a difference in life, today and every day. Feel how great it feels to be so needed, and enjoy fulfilling your beautiful obligation.

— Ralph Marston

Small moments

Small moments are the building blocks of great achievements. Steadily, diligently, one moment at a time, is how new value comes to life.

Anyone can stay positive, focused, effective for one small moment. Great things happen when you string such moments together.

Today is filled with an abundance of moments. Within those moments, if you choose, you can make real, solid progress.

For a moment, let go of worry, anxiety, fear, anger, resentment and frustration. Fill that moment with action that makes a positive difference.

When that productive, satisfying moment is over, you can choose to do it again. You can create positive moments for as long as it takes to get the results you seek.

Enjoy living at your highest level of effectiveness for just this moment. Then keep it going, and amazing things begin to appear on your horizon.

-Ralph S. Marston

Live so spread goodness

Live each moment with integrity, and you’ll find value and goodness in every experience. Make truth your priority and let your life gain from its great power.

Fully benefit from life’s goodness by fully committing yourself to uphold it. As tempting as it can be to cheat others, you cannot do so without cheating yourself more.

The way you treat people is a major part of the way you treat yourself. Act always with respect toward others, and you’ll live with great respect for yourself.

The most loving, compassionate, generous activities are the most enriching activities. Live to spread goodness, and you’ll spend your moments immersed in goodness.

Being truthful feels right because it is right. Being genuinely helpful feels good because it is good.

Align yourself with the power of life’s highest values. And live at your highest, most fulfilling level.

-Ralph S. Marston

True to what really matters

You cannot fix everything that is broken. Yet you can love what is for what it is, and make steady progress.

Life will never be perfect. Even so, you can fill every moment of it with richness.

People, events, and even your own ideas may from time to time disappoint you. Smile, be thankful for the experience, for the wisdom, and step forward.

You are stronger than the sting of regret. You have this moment, this life, and the ability to live it with loving purpose.

Go ahead, and let yourself live true to what really matters. Drop your pretense, and show your genuine beauty.

You have this day, and it is the opportunity that exceeds all opportunities. Embrace what’s now possible, and make it all count.

-Ralph S. Marston

Fresh new opportunity

Your past disappointments have now released you. Today you are free to achieve.

Even if you’ve failed a thousand times, now you are positioned to succeed. Get busy and get it done.

Walk away from the excuses that have enabled you to hold yourself back. Now you can direct the strength of your will toward positive purpose.

Consider what a precious gift your life is. Feel the power as you put your love of life into action.

Every outer weakness you can transform into an inner strength. With that strength, guided by love, give birth to new goodness, achievement, richness.

Negativity has lost its power to distract you. Grab the fresh new opportunity of now and run with it.

-Ralph S. Marston

Achievement mode

Create some meaningful new value with this day you now have. Choose to put yourself in the achievement mode.

Start with commitment. Decide on a goal and decide you will achieve it, no excuses, no quitting, no let up in action until it’s done.

Continue with enthusiasm. Care, even if no one else does, relentlessly positive about the good work you’re doing.

Remember your purpose. With each challenge, remind yourself why you must push through it and what’s most important about doing so.

Zero in on value. Understand that your efforts transform the value available to you into the value you seek to create.

Dance with joyful persistence from one task to another, grateful for the opportunity. Live today in the achievement mode, and discover how very much you can do.

-Ralph S. Marston

Keep complacency away

Complacency wins by doing nothing. If you’re not actively supporting a meaningful purpose, you’re growing complacent.

You gain power, control, resources by accepting the situation as it is in the moment. But don’t let your acceptance become complacence.

Value fades when it is not utilized, built upon, and expanded. Yesterday’s victories will be worthless tomorrow if you don’t continue the effort.

By very definition, life is a dynamic experience, and standing still is not an option. Either you move ahead or you fall behind.

Any time you feel complacency begin to engulf you, reach deep inside. Connect with those things that make you determined to make a difference.

Let your purpose, your determination, your desires, dreams and passions keep complacency away. Make the most of the progress you’ve already made by keeping it going.

-Ralph S. Marston

Big deal

Most of the things you make a big deal about won’t be a big deal for long. Many of the things that consume your attention, you won’t even remember in a couple of weeks.

Life sends a whole lot of seemingly urgent matters your way. The majority of those matters don’t really matter.

Before you get all caught up in the crisis of the moment, step back. Look at it from the perspective of your entire life.

If it really does matter in the big picture of things, then plunge yourself fully into doing something positive and useful about it. If it really doesn’t matter, then move yourself on to whatever does.

Make all the time you spend with life, quality time. Invest that time in the service of what you care about.

There is plenty of time to do what matters, if you will simply stay away from what doesn’t. Give your moments the respect they deserve, and from them you’ll create rich fulfillment.

— Ralph Marston

Live gracefully

Live life gracefully rather than fighting against it. Take the path of peace, of strength, of confidence.

To live with wisdom, understand you don’t have all the answers, and no person does. To live with strength, accept and value life as it is, as it comes.

To embed confidence in every activity, know that you already are enough, already have enough to begin making progress. To sustain success, see that the more you lift others up, the more your own life is lifted.

To fill your world with joy, rise above shallow, superficial concerns of ego. Give your attention, your energy to what matters, to all you love.

This day, choose to be rich in the substance of real life. Be authentic in your richness.

Live with grace, with integrity. And live in a way that satisfies the deepest part of you.

-Ralph S. Marston

Treasure today

Treasure today while you live it. Give the beauty of this moment the full attention it deserves.

Later can wait for later. Let the rich texture of now brush against every part of your being.

Harbor no sadness for a past that has faded. All joy is still brand new, no matter how long ago it was born.

Worry, worry, worry, all it does is tie you down. Give anger no place from which to spring, nor resentment a dark corner where it can hide.

Instead, provide wonder, joy, curiosity and goodness a living vessel to fill with their magic. All the richness of life is now focused on now, and you are here to live it.

Whatever your circumstance or condition, life has a unique beauty for you to express right now. Feel the accumulated joy, letting it spill into the world to make new joy in this moment.

-Ralph S. Marston

Be a source of joy

Here you are on a beautiful day, filled with positive possibilities. Here you are, to make it even better.

You’re here today to be a source of joy, and to make life better. Allow joy to flow out from you, and experience how great it feels.

Choose to simply laugh off what would normally annoy you. Overwhelm the situation with your own joyful smile, kind words and thoughtful actions.

Be of service, be helpful, just because if feels so good and right. Put a smile on your face, in your voice and in your thoughts, and watch as your joyful expression spreads far beyond you.

Decide to enjoy what you’re doing, whatever it may be. People all around you will pick up on that joy and send it back to you in even greater measure.

Fill your heart with joy by filling the world with joy. Be a source of joy today, and experience life at its best.

-Ralph S. Marston

Power past distractions

Distractions pick at you, grab at you, seek to entice you and to push you aside. The assault never stops, yet you have the strength, the will and ability to live beyond it all.

You can form an intention and follow that intention no matter what. You can feel your purpose, live that purpose and render the distractions irrelevant.

Always, the world’s meaningless noise clamors to get you caught up. Live and function on a level higher than that noise, and it ceases to be a problem.

You can power your awareness past any distraction. Because you can ask yourself what’s most important, and you can answer.

The goal you’ve set, the difference you want to make, the dream you hold, these all matter. Remind yourself how much they matter, and aim your focus in their direction.

Know who you are, what you love and care about most. Feed your purpose into the power of intention, and distractions won’t distract you for long.

-Ralph S. Marston
