2011-18 - Success Depends On Using, Not Opposing...

The world is primarily constituted on the basis of harmony. Everything works in cooperation with something else. Personal relationships are the fertile soil from which all advancement, all success, all achievement in real life grows.
Put yourself in another's place. Only then will you know why they think and do certain things. Once you understand how quickly people will grant your requests when those requests appeal to their self interest, you can have practically anything you go after.
It's through cooperation not conflict, that you'll achieve your greatest success.
~ Max Steingart

2011-17 - Matter of choice...

Life is always a matter of choice. Whatever the circumstances may be, you can choose the level at which you live.
You can choose what to think about the various events that play out in front of your eyes. You can choose how to respond to the challenges and opportunities that come into your life.
When you choose to consistently and persistently follow a particular purpose, you will manifest that purpose in the world around you. When you choose to focus your thoughts and efforts on things of meaningful value, you will create more value.
In the next few hours, or in the next few moments, anything can happen. It may be what you planned or it may be a total surprise.
Yet whatever may happen, you can choose what to do about it. Though you are subject to many powerful forces and influences, you can choose the way you deal with them.
The life you live is a matter of choice. Choose wisely, and live richly.
~ Ralph Marston

2011-16 - Build a future...

The more you take action, the more good things you’ll have coming your way. You’ll come across more and better opportunities, learn more things, and become more skilled at getting the results you want.

Yes, you’re going to make mistakes, and you’ll regularly need to adjust your approach. But that’s no reason to avoid action.

In fact, that’s a good reason to get started as soon as possible. If you’re going to make mistakes, it’s better to get out there, get the mistakes over with, and learn from them.

Don’t sit around wondering and worrying about what might happen. Use your own actions and your own energy to determine what will happen.

Don’t sit around building a list of complaints and regrets. Instead, take real, focused action and build a positive, fulfilling future for yourself.

Figure out what you want to create, where you want to go, what you want to experience, and who you want to become. Then get yourself in action and keep moving in the direction you’ve chosen.

~ Ralph Marston
