Thursday, August 21, 2008 Truly care Sincerely care about what you do. Give your full attention and respect to the task at hand. There are those who depend on the work you are doing. Put yourself in their shoes, and look at the world from their perspective. You have within you the potential for excellence. That excellence will be realized in your work when you truly care about each thing you do. Do not fall into the trap of thinking that some particular task is somehow beneath you. Instead, seek to raise up the significance of that task by giving your very best to it. Each effort is an opportunity to express your highest, most treasured values. Each job is a chance to transform your vision of what life can be into something real and concrete. The greatest, most valuable achievements are those built with genuine passion. Put passion and sincere care into the work you do, and the results can be astounding. -- Ralph Marston

Wednesday, August 20, 2008 Destined to achieve You are a natural-born achiever. That's why focused effort feels so good and so right. Trees grow toward the sky because that's what trees are meant to do. Storm clouds drop rain across the land because that's what clouds do. You create new value and solve problems because that is what you are born to do. You make valuable use of opportunities to achieve because achievement is part of who you are. Whatever else you may possess, you also have a diverse and powerful set of tools for achievement. You can observe, interpret, adjust, respond, prioritize, and imagine. You can learn valuable lessons in one situation and put them to effective use in another, completely different arena. You can build and teach and cooperate and integrate the best of what has been into a vision of what can be. In short, you are destined to achieve. Get your excuses, fears and doubts out of the way and allow that destiny to fully unfold. -- Ralph Marston

Tuesday, August 19, 2008 In every experience Every choice is an opportunity to make the best choice. Every difficult decision serves as an occasion to firmly reinforce, with your actions, your most deeply held values. From every mistake, there is much you can learn. In every setback, there are seeds of a more determined, purposeful and effective life. Every disagreement is an opportunity to more fully understand. Every disappointment helps to shine a light on what you truly value most. Whatever this day holds, somewhere in it there is positive value. Each moment is filled with possibilities for adding to the richness of life. If you're determined to make negative judgments and criticisms, you'll find plenty of ways to do so. But what will that accomplish? Instead, let your life and your awareness resonate with the magnificent abundance that is present in each moment. And you'll find real, useful, enriching value in every experience. -- Ralph Marston

Monday, August 18, 2008 Choose discipline Discipline is a decision you make, over and over again. Discipline is choosing to do what you know must be done, as often and as long as necessary. With discipline, you can make smart and advantageous use of the time and resources available to you. With discipline, you can create great value for yourself and your world. The most powerful way to put discipline into your life is to understand and remind yourself of what it can do for you. Once you truly decide to live with it, the power of discipline is yours. If you do not choose to discipline yourself, you will eventually be subject to the harsh, inescapable discipline imposed upon you by life's realities. It is far more desirable to choose your own discipline and to deal with those realities on your own terms. Self discipline opens up a world of choices and opportunities which otherwise would not be available to you. Whatever goal you set your sights upon, discipline is the most reliable way to reach it. Choose, early and often, to use the powerful tool of discipline. And always achieve maximum results from your time and your actions. -- Ralph Marston
