Let now be good

Let now be good Let now be good. Let now bring its unique fulfillment and richness. Those days in the past that you remember as perfect had their problems and shortcomings. Those future times you imagine as ideal will not be flawless. Be thankful for what has been, for all that will be. And experience each joy as its time arrives. Now is everything you have. It is far from perfect, yet it is more than enough. Do the good you can do, now when you can. Be the authentic person you are, now when it matters. Let go of any longing for what might have been, or what was, or what could be, and just let now be good. Now is here for you, so be fully here for now. — Ralph Marston

New beauty

Listen to what life tells you. Act on it. Open yourself to truth, no matter how painful or demanding. Stick with that truth. Feel your own desires, your own fears, your potential for joy, your ability. Feel the love you have for all you care about. Be thankful for all you’ve been through, for all you have, for all that’s possible. Express that gratitude by making use of it, by pointing it in a positive and beneficial direction. Watch as the sun appears over the horizon. Stand in amazement at the opportunity contained in just a single day. Then do something about it, do something with it. Create the new beauty that is waiting for you to bring it to life. — Ralph Marston

Give to yourself

Give to yourself some goodness. Give to yourself some love. Give yourself some time, attention, patience, and care. Give yourself understanding and acceptance. Know how good it feels when you are genuinely good to yourself. Then realize how easily and naturally you can expand that good feeling to others. Be good to yourself not out of selfishness, but to gain skill and experience. Create within yourself a source and a supply of goodness that you can share with all of life. The more generously you give to yourself the more effectively you can give to those around you. Accept and understand yourself, and you’ll further your acceptance and understanding of others. What you have to give is what you have first given yourself. Give generously, and let that generosity expand far and wide. — Ralph Marston

Now is the hour

If you want to get ahead, today is the day to work on it. If you wish to make progress, now is the time to act.The past can give you a frame of reference. Yet your past can’t push you forward and you must not let it hold you back.Today is your opportunity to do what you’ve been meaning to do. The conditions are not perfect yet they are sufficient.Go ahead with what you have and utilize what’s available. Use today or you will lose today and its opportunities.The difficulties feel disheartening and the challenges seem overwhelming. Yet the moment you act you begin to put yourself in control and to change all that.So exercise your best option and do the good, useful, effective things you can do. This is the day, now is the hour.— Ralph Marston

Day by day

Your health, your wealth, your relationships, your self esteem are occasionally influenced by the big, dramatic things you do. Yet these areas of your life, and many more, are mostly determined by the little things you do, again and again, day by day.You can’t brush your teeth just once a month and expect to have a healthy mouth, even if you brush really, really well. You can’t make a big push to earn lots of money every six months, and do nothing the rest of the time, and expect to be financially secure.Ongoing, disciplined attention supports and advances the good things you care about. There is no substitute.Those good things that benefit you are inseparable from the diligence with which you enable them and attend to them. Day by day is the way.Make the best choices today, then make them again tomorrow, the next day, and the next. That’s what progress looks like, that is how success feels.Get in the habit of getting in the habit. You can do anything day by day, and it will take you wherever you decide to go.— Ralph Marston

Richness that endures

Richness that enduresPlenty of choices can bring you pleasure in the moment. Yet when the moment is over the pleasure is gone and you’re left with nothing to show for it.You can do better. You can choose other ways to spend your time, to invest your effort, attention, and resources.You don’t have to settle for cheap, meaningless, instant gratification. You always have the option to devote your time and energy to activities that bring lasting fulfillment.What can you do today that you’ll still be thankful for doing a week from now? What can you do with your time to create value that grows more meaningful as the months and years go by?The instant thrills and sensations will fade before the next instant. You deserve to experience richness that endures a whole lot longer than that.Live in the moment, but don’t live merely for the moment. Use today to enrich your world in ways that continue long after the day is over.— Ralph Marston

Give love

If your experience of love depends solely on being loved, you are sure to be disappointed. The power of love is in giving it. Waves crashing on a sandy beach are wholly incapable of loving you. Yet you can have great love for them, and that love can bring much beauty and fulfillment into your life. By letting go of your expectations about receiving love, you open yourself up to give more love. From that perspective you can fill your life and your world with the power of love. Love inspires you to do what you would otherwise be reluctant to do. Love brings you courage, confidence, competence, as well as the energy and focus to apply them well. You are always able to experience love because there is always some way for you to give it. It is in giving love that you find the wherewithal to live with meaning and fulfillment. Give love and expand its beneficial power into every corner of your existence, of your world. Give love, and live at your most purposeful, authentic, and effective level. — Ralph Marston
