Invest yourself To make something special in your life, invest yourself in it. To give richness and meaning to a particular place, or a relationship, or a job or other experience, give some meaningful part of yourself to it.
If you have no stake in it, you won’t get any real joy or fulfillment from it. Just because something is expensive or impressive or popular doesn’t mean that it will enrich your life.
You don’t have to have the biggest, brightest or fanciest. You just have to really care, really give, and make a living investment.
Life is overflowing with great opportunity because it is constantly giving you ways to make a difference. By giving your time, your care, your interest and your love, you transform generic abundance into personal treasure.
The more you invest of yourself, the more valuable that treasure grows. Whatever is already meaningful to you can be made even more meaningful with your care, attention and effort.
Every moment you encounter is a chance to invest yourself in life. Take every opportunity to invest yourself, and enjoy a lifetime of beautiful rewards.— Ralph Marston Read more at greatday.com/motivate/141219.html#mZHZkDpeKpuUjZDc.99

No need to criticizeLet go of the need to criticize yourself and others. Enjoy doing good things without doubting what you do.
Put your energy into effective effort, not into second guessing your own work or the work of anyone else. Let what has happened be, and move positively forward from it.
Honor the thoughts and feelings you have by turning them into positive action. There’s a good reason you are the way you are, so let yourself be the authentic you.
Use your time and your brilliant, creative mind to move yourself forward. Don’t waste that valuable creativity on excuses or doubts or unnecessary judgments.
Be okay with what has been, with where you are, with what you’ve done and with what you have to work with. Then grab the next positive possibility and run with it.
There’s no need to criticize, to doubt or hold yourself back. Today, let the greatness within you flow freely into your world.— Ralph Marston Read more at greatday.com/motivate/141220.html#48vY4RrKLjfXJdli.99

Productive momentumA great way to get things done is to already be getting things done. To be highly productive, establish and maintain some productive momentum.
Momentum is a powerful thing. A body at rest has a strong tendency to stay at rest, and a body in motion has the same strong tendency to continue in motion.
Get yourself in motion, and you’re much more likely to stay in motion. Get started on something, and you’re well on your way to doing everything that must be done.
If you’re having trouble getting motivated to do a particular task, then start working on something else. The important thing is to get yourself going, to get the productive and creative juices flowing.
When you feel the satisfaction of making a difference in one area, you’re much more eager to make a positive difference in another area. Just get started on something, establish a strong momentum, and let that momentum pull you forward.
Life gets better the more you put some good, solid effort into it. Go ahead, make that initial effort, build some productive momentum, and soon you’ll have a whole lot of valuable work done.— Ralph Marston Read more at greatday.com/motivate/141222.html#h3V3P1h8DqLKaHYV.99

Let life unfoldYou put a great deal of energy and effort into moving your life in a particular direction. Show your confidence in all you’ve done, and in all you continue to do, by allowing life in this moment to unfold as it will.
Let go of your attachment to a specific result and let the good work you’ve done come to fruition. Though the results may not be exactly as you imagined them, they will surely bring the richness and fulfillment you seek.
You’ve done much to get yourself to this day. Now, accept the unique flavor of the day as it arrives in each moment.
There is much more you can do, with many new opportunities and possibilities coming your way. Accept this day, this moment, this time for all it is, and know that you can move positively forward from it.
Peacefully and thankfully let life unfold. As you do, continue to enthusiastically give your best to each moment.
This is your time to live, and to enjoy the positive difference your life makes. Let life unfold as it will, and delight in the new richness it continues to bring.
— Ralph Marston

Peace withinLet peace be within you. When there is true peace on the inside, that peace energizes and uplifts all you do.
Imagine how it would be to think, feel, speak and act from an abiding sense of inner peace. Imagine it, and then live what you imagine.
Think of how you would live your life if you had an unshakable sense of peace deep within. Know that you do have that peace, connect with it, and let it influence your every moment.
Peace is yours to choose regardless of what else may be going on. Yes, it takes intention, commitment and strength and yes, it is well worth whatever you put into it.
The world often tells you to live from the shallow perspective of your ego. You can greatly benefit yourself, and everyone else, by going much deeper.
Give peace a safe, secure and treasured place within, and let it grow. Be the strongest you can be today, by being peaceful. — Ralph Marston Read more at greatday.com/motivate/141224.html#BE9uf3exojhbuI5r.99

Let yourself enjoyLet yourself enjoy the moment you’re in, the place you are, and the things you’re doing. Let yourself enjoy the life you have right now.
It’s great when you work to make life better, richer and more fulfilling. But don’t ever give up the chance to enjoy all the goodness you already have.
The more fully you enjoy this day, the better tomorrow will be. Instead of indefinitely putting off your enjoyment until some idealized time in the future, experience enjoyment at every opportunity.
You don’t need for everything to line up in a certain way in order to enjoy yourself. All you really have to do, is make the choice.
Instead of judging each situation, each person and each activity, make the choice to give of yourself. Give your joy, and make the moment truly enjoyable.
Joy instantly makes life richer and more satisfying. Go ahead, right now, and let yourself enjoy. — Ralph Marston Read more at greatday.com/motivate/141227.html#3xdxcKYyuW8JHkb7.99

Live trueToday, in the everyday details of life, feel your purpose. Today, as you choose how to spend your time, live your purpose.
Your life has unique meaning and the potential for much more meaning. Stay true to the real, living, authentic person you are, and fulfill that potential.
You know what feels right for you and what feels wrong. Pay attention to that feeling, and remind yourself to stick with what’s right.
Enjoy and explore, learn and love, create, support and empower all that is important to you. You have meaningful work to do, and a beautiful vision to express, and today is your opportunity to do it.
Don’t let yourself get too conceited or too dismayed by what others think or say about you. Do what you know is good and right, and in line with your purpose, and all will work out for the best.
Live true to your deeply felt purpose. And you will truly live well. — Ralph Marston Read more at greatday.com/motivate/141229.html#hXblYTA32R1USjbT.99

Remember wellRemember your mistakes, and what you learned from them, and apply those lessons as you move forward. Remember your successes, and how great they felt, and inspire yourself to create more.
Live in the present, well informed by the past. Work toward a bright future, carrying all the best treasures you’ve collected along the way.
Though you cannot change what has already happened, you can choose precisely what to take from it. Let go of the pain, while holding on to the wisdom and joy.
Remember where you started, and realize how far you’ve come. Remember how much effort you’ve invested, and honor that investment by building on it in each new moment.
Remember all those who have given you love, support, and encouragement along the way. Remember how good that felt, and remember that there are those who would benefit from your help right now.
Remember how rich and meaningful life can be. Then step forward and make this day better than anything you can remember.— Ralph Marston Read more at greatday.com/motivate/141230.html#xcLuAZBfldC5icqm.99

Big, beautiful world There is a whole big, beautiful world out there. From where you are, you can gain access to the very best of it.
It’s easy to become dismayed when you focus too long on your own immediate surroundings. It can feel like you are stuck, and like all the best opportunities have already played out.
Yet that’s not the case at all. Every day, countless numbers of people are living lives of true fulfillment, and that fulfillment is really not so far away from you.
Although your choices may seem limited, that’s just because of your limited perspective. Look around, look outward, open your mind and your senses to more of what’s going on in this big, beautiful world.
If the news seems to all be negative, that’s because the good things are so common and so pervasive that they are not considered news. Despite the urgings of those who profit from your fear, the world is filled with goodness and value.
Step away from your comfortable habits, assumptions and routines. There’s a whole big, beautiful world out there, and it’s yours to explore, to enjoy, and to make even better.— Ralph Marston Read more at greatday.com/motivate/141231.html#KlyB773mipbdxdMX.99
