True fulfillment

Fulfillment is not what someone else says it is. Fulfillment is what you feel it to be.

When you chase goals that are not really yours, you’re not very likely to reach them. And even if you do, it will bring no real sense of satisfaction.

There’s much you can gain by always making a good impression. Yet if impressing others is the only thing that matters to you, life can be terribly sad and empty.

There are so many beautiful and original possibilities for your unique life. There’s no need to borrow the tired, old, worn-out cliches of what it means to have a rich and fulfilling life.

Live your own dreams, the ones that truly mean the world to you. To be authentically impressive you must first be authentic.

Fulfillment for you is whatever feels good and right and fulfilling to you. Live that true fulfillment, and experience the beautiful richness that is uniquely yours.

Great place to be

Allow what wants to happen, to happen. Allow what is right, to be, and to expand.

Don’t fight against your own authentic nature. Embrace the unique beauty of the gifts you have to give.

Live with joy and positive purpose in the moment, whatever it may bring. Do what you know is right, what you know is best, and what you know is true.

Life is more magnificent than you can ever imagine. Go ahead and imagine anyway, from the perspective of what you love and value the most, and bring what you imagine to life.

Look at every little morsel of existence with profound gratitude and ecstatic appreciation. Commit yourself, again and again, to living a life worthy of all the abundance that’s available to you.

With each dawning day, dive gleefully into that abundance, eager to create new value and meaning as you journey through it all. Remember that where you are is a great place to be, so give the greatness a faithful life from which to brightly shine.

— Ralph Marston

Transform frustration

It’s easy and natural to feel frustrated with life. When you do, step back, experience the frustration, and let it motivate you, but don’t let it control you.

There is something good and right, powerful and purposeful within you that makes your frustration possible. Ask yourself what it could be.

Frustration occurs when life doesn’t unfold the way you’d like for it to. Instead of letting that extreme sense of disappointment overwhelm you, step back from it and get your bearing.

Challenge yourself to come up with a positive, measured response rather than a destructive, impulsive one. After all, you are capable of great things, so use the occasion to engage that capability.

Take the raw power of frustration and transform it into the power of positive intention. Let go of the self-defeating need to lash out, and see all the possibilities for moving forward.

Then follow through on your intention and take real, effective action. And from a frustrating situation, just as from any situation, you can always choose to triumph.

Positive power on the inside

No matter what may be happening on the outside, you are in charge of the way you are on the inside. And the way you are inside makes all the difference in the value and fulfillment you experience in each day.

Will you be overwhelmed by the problems or energized by the opportunities? That depends on the attitude with which you choose to live.

Will you be a victim of life’s circumstances or will you take positive control of your own destiny? The inner you makes that choice.

You can decide whether to live each day in the darkness of despair or in the light of possibility. You can choose between being a victim or a victor.

It is easy to blame your outer circumstances for the way your life unfolds. Yet the most influential factor is the perspective from which you respond to the way life unfolds.

At any time and place, in any situation, you can choose a positive, empowering, life-affirming perspective. Keep positive power on the inside, and you can successfully deal with whatever happens everywhere else.

Be truly you

It does you no good to become highly skilled at pretending to be someone you’re not. Be you, enjoy it fully and authentically, and spread the joy around.

Don’t waste a lot of time and energy trying to do what you think might impress others. Be you, live what you love, and be impressed yourself at all the great things life has to offer.

It doesn’t take a whole big complicated set of circumstances to bring you the life you want to live. It just takes a little honesty with yourself, about yourself.

Take a deep, peaceful breath, let go of the burdensome need to maintain pretenses, and be you. Feel the healing joy of living each day true to who you are.

You don’t need power or possessions or drama to fulfill your purpose. All you have to do is to be you.

The very best you can do is to be truly you. Be you, and enjoy bringing your unique greatness to life.

Key to success

The key to success is not in some particular technique, program, ritual or idea. The key to your success is you, and what you do.

There are many great people, products, services, values and philosophies that can be extremely helpful. Yet any authentic, fulfilling success you enjoy will come largely from you.

Though you are highly deserving, success in life is not a foregone conclusion. However, you are fortunate to have the opportunity and the ability to make it happen.

If you wish to be successful, then give the best of yourself to that success. The extent of your success flows directly from the size of your commitment.

Be willing to step up and take full and continuing responsibility for your success. That’s what will make it happen.

Nothing will work to bring you success unless you work to bring about that success. Choose a goal that truly means something, do the work, and enjoy all the success you will surely create.

Relax and get busy

It might seem like a contradiction to be active and involved while at the same time being relaxed and joyful. But there’s really no contradiction at all.

Activity and effort add great richness to life. And there’s no reason why you must be stressed and uptight about making that effort.

It’s idleness, not positive effort, that can bring so much despair to life. Avoid that despair by doing something valuable and meaningful every chance you get.

It’s great to be peaceful, relaxed, and enjoying life. And you can be all those things while putting forth disciplined, persistent, effective effort.

Don’t assume that you must wallow in idleness just to relax. Make the choice to relax and to enjoy yourself even in the busiest of times.

Life is an adventure, so live that adventure actively and enthusiastically. At the same time, relax and enjoy the process of adding real richness to your life and your world.

This reminds me that Osho said that we can meditate doing dishes. He also said that sex was the first type of meditation. We can relax, be in the moment. No matter what we do, we can relax and just be, in all that we do.

Make it matter

If you’re not motivated to take action, raise the stakes. The way to get motivated, to get passionate and to get going is to make it worth your while.

It’s only natural to procrastinate, avoid and make excuses when what you must do has little or no meaning for you. The answer is not to force yourself to act against your own interest, but rather to find a way to get yourself positively invested.

When you make it important enough, you’ll make it happen. When you make it truly matter, you’ll figure out how, and you’ll persevere until it’s done.

If you’re dreams are just empty wishes, and you’re not moving passionately toward them, make them bigger. Give them consequence, and you’ll make them compelling.

Get your own self-interest working in your favor. Align that self-interest with what’s best for everyone, and you’ll find yourself actually doing what’s best for everyone, including you.

There’s no need to fight or strive or struggle to get yourself to take action. Make it matter, and you’ll make it happen.

Positive empowerment

Don’t waste your time, thoughts and energy in a state of need. Invest yourself and your life in action.

Free yourself from the burdens of anxiety and worry about what might or might not happen. Get busy living fully, making good and enriching things happen.

This moment is too valuable to contaminate it with negative, limiting thoughts. There are great things you can do right now to improve your life and your world, so go ahead and do them.

Choose to live in a state of positive empowerment by choosing to follow through on your best possibilities. You have the ability to make a difference, and the more you engage that ability, the more fulfilling life becomes.

If you’re waiting for the perfect opportunity, wait no longer. This day is the best opportunity you’ve ever had, because it is when you can take action and move forward.

Let go of the empty wishes, the complaints, the apprehensions, and let yourself do what you do best. Let yourself live richly by acting in every moment to make your world a better place.

— Ralph Marston

See something beautiful

There’s something beautiful about the moment you’re in. Find the beauty, feel the beauty, enjoy it, appreciate it, and let it expand.

There’s something beautiful about the place where you are. See that beauty, delight in it, and let its positive power encompass you.

In any situation, you can choose to see the beauty in life. When you do, you become more loving, more peaceful, more effective, and more fulfilled.

In seeing life’s beauty you are able to recognize life’s best possibilities. Appreciate the beauty, and you gain access to the abundance in which you are immersed.

Instead of reacting with anger, despair or frustration, choose to be amazed by the beauty that is always there. Something about every situation is beautiful, and you gain valuable insight by aligning yourself with it.

In what you do, in where you go, there is beauty. Choose to see and to live that beauty, and make your life truly rich.

— Ralph Marston

Every new moment

Time will pass no matter what. Give yourself something to show for it.

Give yourself some adventure, some achievement, some fellowship, learning, exhilaration, and other great moments of experience. Give yourself the benefit of working with discipline and focus to tackle a meaningful challenge.

Time moves forward, so get yourself moving forward with it. Make this day uniquely fulfilling, and then create even more fulfillment tomorrow.

You cannot go back and reclaim the hours, days and years that have already passed. Yet you can work to make the very most of every new moment that arrives.

Make time your friend by filling it with positive purpose as it arrives. Make time work for you by doing your best work with the time you have.

Time is filled with great promise and possibility. Claim all that value with purposeful, focused effort and lift your world higher as each moment passes.

— Ralph Marston

Make new joy

It is great to treasure the joys of the past. When you do so, those joys will always be with you, bringing new pleasure each time you think of them.

But don’t get so dependent on past joys that you neglect to make new ones. Instead, allow the joys you’ve previously experienced to inspire you to make even more.

Circumstances have surely changed, and you’ll never again have the exact same joyful experiences you had before. However, you most certainly can create new, original joyful memories to treasure.

Be thankful about all the great times you’ve known. And be willing to make more great times with this day, with this moment, wherever you may be.

Don’t limit the possibilities for joy by assuming that the new joys must be just like the previous ones. Continue to open yourself to new, creative options for adding richness and fulfillment to life.

There are plenty of ways, right here and right now, to bring fresh joy to life. Treasure the joys of the past, and make some new ones today.

Powerful advantage

By complaining about your troubles you make those troubles bigger. By being thankful for your blessings you make those blessings more prominent in your life.

If you dwell on how difficult and complicated some particular task is, you make it even more difficult for yourself. It is by being thankful and enthusiastic that you get it done more effectively.

Your thoughts give great power to what they’re focused upon. So choose to focus those thoughts on whatever you wish to make more influential in your life.

Your thoughts create the perspective from which you experience and interact with life. It is always in your best interest to make that a positive, empowering perspective.

Your thoughts won’t change the external factors in your world. However, your thoughts will most certainly affect what you can accomplish with those external realities.

Choose those thoughts that will frame this day in a positive, purposeful perspective. Your thoughts are yours to control, so make good use of them to give your actions and your life a powerful advantage.

Immersed in the wonder

At this very moment you are immersed in the wonder that is life. Feel the power, feel the possibilities, and live this day worthy of the greatness to which you are connected.

In even the smallest, most ordinary things there is amazing beauty and immense potential for joy. If you are bored or uninspired, you’re simply not paying attention.

Take a moment to take a deep breath, to take it all in, and to marvel at your exceedingly good fortune. Remind yourself that you are rich beyond all conceivable measure.

If you happen to feel burdened by some particular situation or limitation, take a step back and reconsider. Whatever may be troubling you is small compared to the nearly limitless options you have for doing something about it.

Though there are many problems, there are always many more positive possibilities. To transform those possibilities into positive reality, it’s up to you to take purposeful, focused action.

In this moment, feel the immensity of life’s wonder. And find delight in making positive use of it.

— Ralph Marston
