Unwelcome interruptions

You have great plans, and yet life is always getting in the way. You intensely wish to move forward, but all sorts of things seem to constantly interrupt and impede that movement.But do those unexpected and unwelcome interruptions really have to hold you back? The fact is, you don’t have to let them.Sure, you must regularly deal with the urgent, pressing matters that come your way. But that doesn’t mean those unwelcome interruptions have to take over your life.Instead of seeing those interruptions as negative, distracting influences, you can just as realistically choose to see them as positive, empowering opportunities. Just because they weren’t in your plans doesn’t mean they have to upset your plans.Decide that there’s something positive to be found, and you’ll find something positive in anything. Decide that the interruptions won’t really interrupt you, but will in fact provide you with additional ways to move forward, and that’s exactly what will happen.Learn to welcome, embrace and empower yourself with the unexpected interruptions. They’re always going to come, so make the choice to make them work in your favor.— Ralph Marston

One man considers one day more sacred than another; another man considers every day alike. Each one should be fully convinced in his own mind.—Romans 14:5

 Do yourself a big favor

You don’t have to beg or wish or hope for favors from others. You can do yourself a big favor today.You can use the moments of this day, the moments available to you right now, to create value. You can choose to take the specific actions that will bring new, meaningful richness to your world.Even though you may be burdened with challenges, obligations, limitations, frustrations and other factors pushing against you, still you can move forward. You can choose to achieve something valuable in spite of whatever might be working against you.What really matters is not your situation, but your attitude, your intentions and your commitment to make positive things happen. When you’re truly committed to making progress, you will find a way.Reach into your most sincere, authentic self and connect with what matters most to you. Have the courage to admit what you love, and to do something about it.Do yourself a big favor and live this day with purpose, intention, passion and relentless energy. You can do it, and you’ll feel amazing when you do.— Ralph Marston

For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.—John 3:16

 Start the ball rolling

Motivation leads to action, and action leads to more motivation. If you’re not motivated to do anything, do a little something anyway and start the ball rolling.Even the smallest positive step can begin to create positive momentum. Take that small step, feel the tiny wisp of motivation and momentum, and let it carry you to the next modest step.Even if it doesn’t seem to accomplish anything, a small, initial positive action does in fact achieve something of great consequence. It gets you going.Once you’re in motion, you’re much more likely to stay in motion. The longer you stay in motion, the more likely you are to keep going.The best thing to do when you don’t feel like doing anything, is to do something. Remind yourself that although you may be severely unmotivated, you can take a small action anyway.No matter what your situation or level of motivation may be, there’s some little something you can do. Do it now, get the ball rolling, and let the power of positive momentum push you forward.— Ralph Marston

From the LORD comes deliverance. May your blessing be on your people.—Psalm 3:8

The moment when you can

Now is the most important time in your life, because now is the time you can do something about. Now is your most powerful moment, because now is when you can exercise the power of your intention.Don’t waste this powerful moment complaining about the past or worrying about the future. Invest your time, this time right now, in living with purpose, passion, creativity, effectiveness and joy.This is not a time to be timid or vengeful, angry or disappointed. This is your time to find sweet fulfillment in using your wisdom and your efforts to make a difference.It doesn’t really matter what’s been happening lately, or whether you’ve been falling behind or speeding ahead. Now is a valuable new moment, filled with new possibilities, ready for you to live with all you have.Now is jam-packed full of great opportunity. Grab some of that opportunity, right here, right now, and do something beautiful and meaningful with it.You are here, this moment is here, the possibilities are here, and you can immediately start to transform those possibilities into fulfilling reality. This is the moment when you can, so do.— Ralph Marston

Your attitude should be the same as that of Christ Jesus: Who, being in very nature God, did not consider equality with God something to be grasped...—Philippians 2:5-6

Give purpose to this day

To get the most out of this day, give it a purpose. Instead of just taking whatever comes, experience this day the way you choose to experience it.If this day has no clear purpose, then you’re likely to be tossed around by all the random things that happen. Yet when you’ve made a firm commitment to a specific result, your focused direction will enable you to rise above the distractions and diversions.If you’re standing still, wondering what to do next, the obstacles will push you back. Yet when you’re already moving forward and you encounter obstacles, your momentum will help carry you through them.Give this day a purpose that will excite you, motivate you, ignite your passion and compel you to get moving. Give yourself something good and meaningful to show for the time you spend living this day.When the next step is clear, you’re much more likely to take it. When you’ve decided exactly what is to be done, you’re much more likely to do it.There is enormous positive potential in this very day. Give this day a purpose, and claim some of the great value it offers.— Ralph Marston

I am not ashamed of the gospel, because it is the power of God for the salvation of everyone who believes: first for the Jew, then for the Gentile.—Romans 1:16

Choose a positive response

No matter what happens, you can respond in whatever way you choose. So make your response the most positive one for every person it affects.There’s nothing to be gained by adding more negativity on top of negativity. You have the opportunity to break the pattern.Instead of responding to anger with more anger, challenge yourself to respond with understanding and compassion. When you’re tempted to respond with frustration, make the more positive choice to respond with patience.For your world to be a more positive place, you must take responsibility for putting more positive energy into it. Though a positive response may be the more difficult one, it is also the more valuable choice in the long run.Rather than choosing a response based on what has happened, choose your response based on the direction you wish to go. Even when life has let you down, your best choice is a positive response that creates a more positive future.Each response to life is an opportunity to make progress. Choose a positive response, again and again, and create a much more positive world.— Ralph Marston

All this took place to fulfill what the Lord had said through the prophet: "The virgin will be with child and will give birth to a son, and they will call him Immanuel" — which means, "God with us."—Matthew 1:22-23

Positive approach

Conflict can be interesting and enticing, but is not particularly useful. Rather than giving in to the drama of conflict, choose to be genuinely helpful and cheerful, and make yourself much more effective.Sure, you can get attention by being negative. But you can get much more done by taking a positive approach.Instead of focusing on what’s wrong, offer some workable options for setting things right. When you feel like giving criticism, find a way to give it in the form of encouragement.You don’t have to be nice just to be nice. Be nice, helpful, positive, upbeat and encouraging because that’s how you, and everyone else, will make the most progress.You’ll never be able to get back the time and energy you waste on conflict. Yet when you invest your time and energy in being a positive influence, the rewards for doing so will expand exponentially as time goes on.Your most effective, productive, profitable, compassionate and intelligent choice is to be positive in your interactions with others. It’s a choice that lifts the lives of everyone involved.Ralph Marston

Your word is a lamp to my feet and a light for my path.Psalm 119:105

Energized by the possibilities

Acknowledge and accept what is, but don’t settle for it. You can take what is, whatever it may be, and add great value to it.

If you’ve allowed yourself to fall behind, or if events beyond your control have held you back, you don’t have to stay behind. You can fully embrace where you are, and then begin to step solidly forward.

It is never too late to experience the true fulfillment of making a real difference in life. No circumstance is ever too burdensome to separate you from your authentic purpose.

Don’t let yourself get caught up in judgments or comparisons. Instead, let yourself be energized by the positive possibilities of right now.

Whatever has happened, has happened, and now the thing to do is move forward with renewed energy. You can do it, not because of where you’ve been or what you have, but because of who you are deep inside.

Take this day, this moment, this unique place and time, and give it the best you have. There is greatness within you, so let it come flowing forth right now.

— Ralph Marston

Let us therefore make every effort to do what leads to peace and to mutual edification.—Romans 14:19

Taking action

You can plan and prepare and talk about it for weeks or months or years, but that’s never enough. Action is what will make it happen.A verbal commitment is good and a written commitment can be powerful. Yet there is no true, effective, life-changing commitment until there is action.When you take action, there is no guarantee of success. Yet when you do not take action, there absolutely is the guarantee of failure.Act early, act often, act intelligently, act with persistence, and be willing to adjust your actions based on the results they bring. The only way to achieve the goal is to get in the game and make the effort.Right now you have the time in this day. Fill it with effective, directed, focused, positive, purposeful action, and you’ll always be thankful you did.Action will take you from here to there, from nothing to something, from dream to reality. Get up, get going, take action and make your reality the best you can envision.— Ralph Marston

But grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. To him be glory both now and forever! Amen.—2 Peter 3:18

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

"Sirs, what must I do to be saved?" They replied, "Believe in the Lord Jesus, and you will be saved — you and your household." Then they spoke the word of the Lord to him and to all the others in his house. At that hour of the night the jailer took them and washed their wounds; then immediately he and all his family were baptized.—Acts 16:30-33

Commitment

Anyone can get excited and enthusiastic, given a sufficient amount of stimulation or inducement. Excitement will get you going, but it is not enough to keep you going. Excitement, by its very nature, wears off.Beyond the initial excitement, success requires commitment. Commitment keeps you going long after the novelty has worn off. Excitement begins the process of achievement. Commitment sees it through to completion.Excitement is a reaction. Commitment is an intentional decision. Success occurs when you’re able to transform the energy of your excitement into a solid and lasting commitment. That’s not easy. It takes effort. It takes dedication and focus. It demands a level of motivation that goes beyond the thrill of the moment. To be committed, you must find a personally meaningful, driving reason to support your commitment, and then continually remind yourself of that reason.Excitement is so satisfying and energizing because of the promise it makes. Commitment is what actually delivers on that promise.— Ralph Marston

Beautiful reality

Act not out of judgment, but out of love. Live not from a position of fear, but from a perspective of joy.Let go of the need to prove how good you are. Live in such a way that real goodness, joy and generosity flow naturally from all you do.Instead of seeking to gain more advantage, discover new ways to give more value. Instead of worrying about what might be, live the immense treasure of what already is.Don’t waste your time looking for happiness in this thing or that. Let happiness always find you right where you are, doing whatever you are doing.See life not as a contest where some must lose in order for others to win. See it as an opportunity to lift yourself higher by lifting many, many others through your unique gifts.Let go of the illusion that you must struggle. And let in the beautiful reality of how very good life can be.— Ralph Marston

Therefore let us stop passing judgment on one another. Instead, make up your mind not to put any stumbling block or obstacle in your brother's way.—Romans 14:13

Embrace responsibility

Don’t blame others, don’t blame the situation, and don’t blame yourself. Instead of wasting your energy on assigning blame, empower yourself by accepting responsibility.The way you experience life is no one’s fault. It is your choice.Fully accept and embrace responsibility for all that surrounds you, and something amazing happens. You gain the power to make a positive difference.If you run from the troubles, they grow stronger and chase you more and more relentlessly. Yet the moment you take responsibility for those troubles, you begin to have some control over them.If you merely wish for your dreams to come true, they won’t. Yet when you step up and take responsibility for bringing those dreams to life, they begin to take on real form and substance.Responsibility is the key that gives you access to all the best life has to offer. Embrace responsibility in all things, and unlock the great value that is yours to live.— Ralph Marston

May the Lord make your love increase and overflow for each other and for everyone else, just as ours does for you.—1 Thessalonians 3:12

Experience the richness

You put a lot of energy and effort into living. So on a regular basis, take time to fully experience your life and the world in which you live.Spend some time that has no purpose other than to take in all the richness of which you’re a part. Let go, for a while, of the need to analyze, to criticize, to judge and react.Allow your thoughts to be still. Feel the wonder, the goodness, the beauty of simply being, and knowing that you are.Experience life, not in order to gain any advantage or to impress someone. Experience life because the depth of its richness has no limit.The more fully you experience and appreciate life, the more you’ll find yourself needing less and having more. Experience life, and you’ll clearly see how truly rich you already are.Life is a gift so precious that it has no equal. Experience life, and give that gift to yourself and others.— Ralph Marston

Accept him whose faith is weak, without passing judgment on disputable matters.—Romans 14:1

Highest vision

Look up from what you’re doing and look around for a minute. See what a beautiful world you’re in.Take your mind off the problems for a moment, and focus on the positive possibilities. Consider how very much you are able to do.Turn your attention for a while away from the worries and anxieties. Remind yourself of all your many blessings.The direction of your focus is the direction your life will move. Let yourself move toward what is good, valuable, strong and true.The things that fill your awareness are the things that will fill your life and your world. So expand your awareness beyond your own concerns and toward the best of what can be.Look up and look confidently toward the highest vision you can imagine. The moment you do, you’re on your way there.— Ralph Marston

Forever thankful

Do you remember anything special that you did exactly one week ago, or one month ago today? What can you do today that will make today a day to fondly remember for a long time to come?This day is an entire day of your life. You have the opportunity to live this day in such a way that it will make a positive difference for years to come.You can express your love in a new and unique way. You can begin an ambitious project that you’ve been meaning to start for a long time.You could take the time and make the effort to learn a new skill that will add value to every day of your life. You could visit a place you’ve never been to before, or re-connect with an old and dear friend.You can thoughtfully re-commit yourself to your highest priorities. And then you can take real, effective action that will bring those priorities to life.You can live this day in such a way that you’ll be forever thankful for what you’ve made of it. Get started now, and make it one to remember.— Ralph Marston

Carefully listen

Stop worrying so much about what you’re trying to say, and listen for a while. Though it may seem strange, one very effective way to express yourself is by listening.Listen, carefully, lovingly and attentively to the world around you. Listen to others and listen to life.Let go of your assumptions about what you expect to hear. Listen not only with your ears, but also with your heart and spirit.Pay attention to what life has to say to you. There is no end to the valuable lessons you can learn.When you think you know it all, you deny yourself the opportunity to learn new things. When you interact with others only to impress them with how much you know, they’ll soon understand that you know very little.The more you listen, observe and learn, the more powerfully you’ll be able to express yourself. Take heed of what life has to say, and what you learn will carry you far.— Ralph Marston

So we say with confidence, "The Lord is my helper; I will not be afraid. What can man do to me?"—Hebrews 13:6

Fully there

Wherever you are, be there fully. For where you are is where you can most effectively act and live.If you’re constantly wishing that you were somewhere else, you diminish the opportunities for where you are now. When your thoughts are in another place or time, your actions lose much of their effectiveness.It’s great to dream, to plan, to aspire, to reach for new and improved circumstances. And yet the way to successfully do that is by being the best you can be in the place where you now find yourself.It’s great to keep yourself focused on an ambitious goal. And that focus is the most effective when it is crafted from the perspective of where you are now.To successfully travel the path from here to there, you must start with being fully here. The more you give your attention and your energy to making the most of where you are, the more quickly you’ll move along that path.There is much to be accomplished, much to be lived in every place and in every moment. Be there fully for all of them, and life will be rich indeed.— Ralph Marston

If we have been united with him like this in his death, we will certainly also be united with him in his resurrection. For we know that our old self was crucified with him so that the body of sin might be done away with, that we should no longer be slaves to sin...—Romans 6:5-6

Too valuable to waste

Consider what a truly great day you have today. Think of all the magnificent possibilities that are yours right now.You can fill the next hour with sixty minutes of focused, purposeful, effective effort. You can bring new and meaningful value to your work, your home, your family, your community and your dreams.On this day you can learn, experience, work, feel, love and play. You can make creative use of whatever you have to move in the direction of whatever you desire.The possibilities are limited only by your imagination. So let yourself imagine something wonderful, and then enjoy the wonderful experience of making it happen.Though it might seem easier and more comfortable to just do nothing, that’s really not the case. If you waste the great possibilities of this day, you will very soon come to regret it.So avoid that regret and jump into action. Today is much too valuable to waste.— Ralph Marston

For what the law was powerless to do in that it was weakened by the sinful nature, God did by sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful man to be a sin offering. And so he condemned sin in sinful man, in order that the righteous requirements of the law might be fully met in us, who do not live according to the sinful nature but according to the Spirit.—Romans 8:3-4

Get life going your way

Don’t wait for life to go your way. Get your own thoughts and actions going your way and the other things in life will reliably follow along.Step forward and take a positive, active role in creating your own future. Instead of worrying about what might or might not happen, work to make what does happen the best you can imagine.With every moment and every choice, you have an influence on the way your life unfolds. Instead of being a victim of circumstance, find ways to utilize each circumstance for meaningful, positive purposes.Though you cannot control every influence in your life, you absolutely can control what you make of those various influences. Make the choice, again and again, to make the best of them.Take what comes, whatever it may be, with gratitude and positive expectations. Do what you must to make something good out of it.There is always a way forward, so take it. There is always something useful, valuable and positive you can do, so do it, and get life going your way.— Ralph Marston

Do not boast about tomorrow, for you do not know what a day may bring forth.—Proverbs 27:1

Richness flowing out

If you cannot fully value and appreciate what you have, you might as well not have it. Life’s richness is valuable precisely to the extent that you make it valuable.The way to make it valuable is to be thankful. The way to be truly thankful for what you have is to make good and meaningful use of it.This moment is an opportunity to do just that. This situation, whatever else it may be, is your chance to create new value and richness.Look at what you have right now, but not as a static scorecard. Look at what you have and see the possibilities for moving forward.Your highest fulfillment will come not from accumulating possessions. It will come from creating and expressing new value in your own unique way.Be truly and immensely thankful for this moment and for what’s in it. Then live it in such a way that new richness comes flowing out.— Ralph Marston

For though we live in the world, we do not wage war as the world does. The weapons we fight with are not the weapons of the world. On the contrary, they have divine power to demolish strongholds. We demolish arguments and every pretension that sets itself up against the knowledge of God, and we take captive every thought to make it obedient to Christ.—2 Corinthians 10:3-5

Focus on the good things

Your mind is astonishingly powerful. Focus that power on the good things.Your thoughts create the landscape in which you experience life. Make that landscape empowering in a positive and fulfilling way.Even if something is very small, you can make it enormous in your life by choosing to intensely focus your thoughts upon it. So focus on what you wish to make bigger, and not on what you want to avoid.Let your thoughts center around all that you love, respect, admire and treasure. Give positive power to each of your moments by giving positive focus to your thoughts.Sure, there are plenty of negative things that can quickly capture your attention. That’s why it is important to be able to just as quickly put yourself back into a positive perspective.By all means deal with the bad things as necessary, while keeping your primary focus on the good things. Make the best use of the mental power that is yours by keeping it pointed in a positive direction.— Ralph Marston

Your great potential

To build something beautiful and wonderful takes time and effort. Make good use of every moment you have.You can go a long, long way. To do so, you must be going on that way every chance you get.What you can accomplish is truly amazing. So work on it with persistence and commitment, and bring all that great value to life.The minutes and hours of this day will quickly pass no matter what you do with them. Choose to do the highest and best with each of them, and to fulfill your great potential.Rather than dwelling on the excuses, focus intently on the possibilities. Find great joy in the fact that you can make a difference, and make that difference again and again.You can do great things. Feel that potential, then get busy and fulfill it.— Ralph Marston

New level of courage

It is comfortable to stay where you are. But soon, that comfort will turn into boredom, frustration and regret.It is uncomfortable to take on a challenge and to venture along a new path. Yet that is precisely what makes you stronger, more interesting, more capable and more fully alive.Go ahead and do what makes you feel slightly apprehensive. That is also what makes you grow.Feel the fear and apprehension. Learn from it all and let it prepare you.Then, step boldly forward. Experience the new level of courage you have just attained.Make good, purposeful use of that courage so that it grows ever stronger. And let it lead you forward into the true greatness that is your destiny.— Ralph Marston

Enjoy being the real you

Fear is the enemy of creativity. If you are anxious and worried about what you are creating, then what you are creating will not be worth very much.Let go of your attachment to getting it right. Allow yourself to enjoy the experience of simply letting it flow.When you are truly having fun you can create magnificent things. When you stop worrying about whether people will like it, people will love it.The way to be great is to be authentic. The way to be authentic is to enjoy who you truly are and what you truly love.Don’t waste a lot of time trying to guess what might matter to someone else. Put your love and effort and energy into what matters to you, and many others will benefit.In order to give of yourself you must fully be yourself. Enjoy being the real you, and bring great value to life.— Ralph Marston

Vast abundance

You have much more than you can ever possibly realize. Life is a process of connecting with deeper and deeper levels of value that have always been there, and always will.Does it ever seem that the world has passed you by, or that there are just no opportunities for you? Then it’s time to move to a more profound and fulfilling level.You are capable of much more than you have yet attempted. Fill your heart with goodness, make the commitment to express that goodness, and there will be a way.The reason you get stuck is not because you have too little. It is because you expect too little.The way to expect more, at your deepest level, is to make the commitment to give more goodness to life. Make that commitment, and suddenly new, exciting possibilities come into view.Think for a moment, and realize that always, there is something good you can give. In that simple thought you know without a doubt that life’s vast abundance is always available to you.— Ralph Marston

Something for something

"Plenty of people will promise you something for nothing, yet those are always empty promises. Even when you can manage to get something for nothing, it does not bring any real joy to your life.The point of life is not to figure out how to get something for nothing. The real fulfillment in life comes not from merely consuming, but from creating.You cannot be truly rich simply by having a certain set of material possessions. The richness that matters is genuine inner richness, and the satisfaction that comes from knowing that you’re making a positive difference in life.Don’t waste your time wishing, hoping, demanding or begging to get something for nothing. Joyfully put your energy into creating new, useful and beautiful value out of the unique abundance with which you’ve been blessed.The great thing about being alive is that you can, through your creative endeavors, transform whatever you have into whatever you desire. That amazing, limitless opportunity presents itself every moment of every day.If you wish to have something of value, then work to create something of even greater value. That’s the reliable way to be truly rich in all matters small and large."— Ralph Marston

Widen your view

"If you’re having trouble finding an answer, it’s probably because you’re continuing to look where you’ve already looked. If it seems that the problems have no good solutions, widen your view.The answers and the opportunities are most certainly out there. In order to discover them you must let go of some assumptions and open yourself to new possibilities.Conditions change, people change, and the whole world can change quickly. If you continue to see things exactly the way you did yesterday, you’re missing a whole lot of new opportunities.It’s great to stay firmly anchored in your long-held, most treasured values. Yet it’s also vitally important to live and express those values in new, creative and updated ways.There are countless ways to enrich your life and your world that you’ve never even considered. Step out of your routine, step back from your assumptions, widen your view and see some of those possibilities.Make the choice to venture beyond what you’re comfortable with, beyond what you already know and assume. Great new treasures are waiting for you there."— +Ralph Marston

"When you Choose to feel don’t feel like smiling, that’s when a smile will absolutely do the most good. When you don’t feel like laughter, that’s when a laugh can completely change your whole outlook.You do not have to live at the mercy of your feelings. You can choose to be the master of those feelings and the master of your actions.It doesn’t matter whether it is easy or hard, reasonable or unreasonable to choose the way you act and feel. You can do it anyway.Don’t use your feelings as an easy excuse to do the wrong thing. Use them as a well-informed guide for doing what is good and right.Pay attention to your feelings, learn from them, experience, enjoy and appreciate them. But don’t let them enslave you.Go ahead, feel life intensely. And make the choice to be in control and to live with intelligent, positively focused purpose."— Ralph Marston

Rom 10:11 As Scripture says, “Anyone who believes in him will never be put to shame.

Inspiritment for the lost

Part 1

In the times of today,where everything we set out to do,becomes more and more complicated ,almost seemingly impossible.We must encourage & inspire ourselves and those around us daily:

In the years of getting to know people , amongst them the lowest of low (including my older self) and the most inspirational leaders.The key to motivate ourself ,is to motivate others - I dare you to try it.Be a light unto others!

But now you ask:"How can I motivate others if I'm as down as can be?"
EASY!! - its all in your thought patterns.
As a man thinketh ,so is he.-Proverbs 23:7

Your thoughts, actively become your words ,and believe me the more you say something the more it forms part of your entire being.
Your words determine your future.

Then , don't be a critter and constantly speak down on someone or negatively about something.
The measure you use ,is the measure you're measured with. Matt7:2

Regarding the troubles in your life.Assess the problem,identify it,make notes,find a solution to resolve it and keep it in your sub-conscious,working toward it daily.The moment we speak & repeat the troubles i  our lives ,we have accepted defeat.

Don't be foolish,make up your mind to change and be successful.If we look for a reason to quit or fail ,we will find many.

Live day to day,setting small goals for yourself.Be purpose driven. Rome wasn't built in one day.A bad day does not define your life- FOCUS!!!

Stronger than the problems

Wednesday, October 16, 2013

Do not seek to be free of the problems. Work to be stronger than the problems.A life with no problems would be a life with no opportunities for growth or achievement. That’s not what you want, and it is certainly not realistic.In the real world there are difficult problems, and there will always be. Yet there are also countless possibilities for progress and true fulfillment.Don’t waste your time fantasizing about a life free of problems. Instead, use your imagination and your efforts to transform those problems into positive value.Embrace each situation as it is, along with all the problems. Accept that the problems exist, and you can then begin to successfully work through them.Life will always be challenging in one way or another. So rise to the challenges and use your unique set of abilities to make life great.— Ralph Marston

The righteous cry out, and the LORD hears them; he delivers them from all their troubles.—Psalm 34:17

Good things you deserve

Tuesday, October 15, 2013

"Living richly isn’t just for someone else. You deserve a life that’s filled with richness and joy, and you deserve to be the person who makes it happen.Good fortune isn’t just for someone else. You deserve to have good fortune, and you deserve the experience of creating that good fortune with your attitude and your efforts.You deserve to have a lucky break. So get busy and do what it takes to give yourself one.Let today be the day you stop waiting for something good to come along. Get up, get going, and make something good, valuable and meaningful out of what you already have.Go ahead and give yourself all the good things you deserve. Feel how great it feels to be positive, focused, helpful, compassionate, caring, productive and joyful.You deserve the best in life precisely because you’re fully capable of making it happen. Your opportunity to live richly is here and now, so put it to outstanding use without another moment’s delay."— +Ralph Marston 

The face of the LORD is against those who do evil, to cut off the memory of them from the earth.—Psalm 34:16

Richer and richer

"The way to be rich is to realize how rich you are. The way to be rich is to express and to live the unique abundance that is yours.It’s not what you get that makes you rich. It’s what you do with all you have.The way to be truly rich is to make good, meaningful use of what you have. The way to be exceptionally rich is to be generous with all that you are.The abundance of the universe is literally everywhere. What transforms that abundance into real richness is your choice to make purposeful, loving use of it.Each day is overflowing with possibilities for new richness. See the best possibilities, act on them, and find true delight in making life richer and richer.Make joyful use of each moment, and sincerely give the best of who you are. Live a life that is rich indeed."— +Ralph Marston

Fear the LORD, you his saints, for those who fear him lack nothing.—Psalm 34:9

Where do we get daily motivation from?

1) Sleep

Get your sleep in every night (most nights),its very important,at least 6 hours a night in order to maximize your full potential the next day.Nobody likes a grumpy person.

2) Your thing

Do your thing when you wake up in the morning ,whether it's listening to that song you like or having that amazing cup of java,maybe you wash your red Lamborghini.As long as it is positive and your ''thing''.Don't start your day with a negative,-it's a recipe for failure.

3) Exercise

I believe exercising in the early hours of the morning tends to give me more motivation and channels me into full-steam motion for the day.And when you're done ,there's no room for excuses to quit for instance a late afternoon training ,when your all worn out.
Set your alarm 30 minutes prior to your actual training,because when i wake up i tend to forget things i need to take to the gym.

4) Nutrition

Getting proper nutrition for breakfast is crucial.It plays a massive role in your mood towards all business decisions and also staff/colleague relationships at work.Stay away from junk food ,it will influence your already positive day ,which if you remember started very early for a reason.

5) Personality

In my experience of reaching true inner peace and love for my neighbor,i have come to realize that our own personality predicts the way other people respond to our moods.Body language and posture also plays a role ,nobody wants to talk to or even do business with a moping,sad looking hunchback.Start with yourself and the rest will follow,take baby steps.

6) "Think well into the matter" 

That is the famous words of one of my favorite icons ( Mr. +Sean Hyman  - Pastor & Self-made Billionaire).It literally means that you should STOP,and think before you do anything.Think how it will affect your life,positively or negative.And then lastly:"You have been given amazing talents and abilities both mentally and also physically,use them to your advantage.Don't be a fool!"
