Follow through on inspiration

Follow through on inspiration: by Ralph Marston

It’s good to be inspired, but merely being inspired is not enough. Get inspired, and then follow through on that inspiration. 

Inspiration without action is wasted. Not only that, but with no action the inspiration itself soon turns sour. 

Don’t waste the inspiration and don’t waste the opportunity. Do the hard work, take the difficult actions, meet the challenges with inspired effort.

Let inspiration lead you to take the first step. Keep renewing and refreshing that inspiration as you persist through every effort.

When you add action to inspiration, you get even more inspiration. And, you get results.

Get yourself inspired, then do something with that inspiration by acting on it. Discover how very far your inspired effort will take you.

Achieve the vision

Achieve the vision: by Ralph Marston

Stop wondering why you can’t, or why you don’t or why you won’t. Figure out how and why you will.

Have you successfully avoided taking action? Use that same power now to take the action, make the effort, do the work.

Fulfillment does not come while waiting for good things to drop into your lap, even if that actually happens. The fulfillment is in the challenge, the effort, in actively creating the value you seek.

Leave your past shortcomings, with their reasons, justifications and excuses, behind. Focus on the possibilities of now, step forward, jump in, and participate.

Visualize what success looks like to you, in such great detail that you feel the reality of it. Let that positive feeling drive you to transform your vision from feeling to fact.

Yes, you can achieve the vision. And when you convince yourself to act on that truth, and to persist until it is done, you will.

Keep up the good work

Keep up the good work: by Ralph Marston

Each kindness you offer makes the world a better place. Every word of encouragement lifts life a little higher.

All the times you choose to do what’s right, and good, and valuable, you create new goodness. By speaking the truth, and living authentically, you make truth itself more powerful and present.

You’re making a difference, making life positive and meaningful. Today is another opportunity to keep up the good work.

Your efforts create value, and that value grows. Your love and generosity inspire new richness, and that richness expands.

You know how good it feels when you leave people, places, situations better off than when you found them. It feels so good because it is so good, and you’ll have many more chances to do it again.

You are at your best when you’re enabling love, hope, goodness and joy. And every day is a day to be your best.

.: Choose Challenge :.

Choose challenge: by Ralph Marston

Do the things that challenge you, not just the easy, automatic, mindless things. Do the things that challenge you, and get maximum results from the time you spend.

Challenges give you the opportunity to grow smarter, more capable, more effective. Challenges can even make you kinder, more generous and understanding.

When you have a choice, choose the challenging task. When you don’t have a choice, challenge yourself to find a way.

Choose challenge, and make it a meaningful challenge. That’s the kind that results in achievement.

Challenge will stimulate, energize, wake up your passion. Challenge pushes you to discover how much better you can be.

There’s some challenge right now that can change your life, your world for the better. Choose challenge, and choose to live at your highest level.

Choosing your thoughts: by Ralph Marston

The rudder does not move the ship, yet it determines precisely which direction the ship will go. In the same way, your thoughts don’t make anything happen on their own, yet they absolutely determine what you cause to happen.

You’ll find it almost impossible to think one thing and do another. If your thoughts are in any way opposed to your actions, those actions will not be effective.

When you seek to be creative, productive, prosperous, successful, align your thoughts with what you seek. Fill your mind with thoughts of abundance, of possibilities, of achievement, and your actions will create that achievement.

Your thoughts set the course for your day, your year, your life. Your thoughts tell you what to do next, and what to do after that, and after that.

No, your thoughts cannot short-circuit the laws of physics to make a brand-new car appear in your driveway. However, your thoughts can most certainly keep you positively focused and directed enough to reach the goals you’re willing to work toward.

You are constantly choosing your thoughts, and those thoughts are always pointing the way forward. So think love, think fulfillment, think possibilities, think achievement, think positive and think yourself into the best world you can imagine.
