Energy of intentionLife can often leave you feeling stuck or trapped in an undesirable position. Yet no matter how confining your situation may be, there is always a positive way forward.
Even though your options may be very limited, you do still have some powerful choices. Even in a difficult, highly challenging situation, there are real and present possibilities for great improvement.
The first thing to do is to refuse to see yourself as a victim. By taking full responsibility for your situation, you give yourself the power to change it for the better.
Next, instead of fretting about the way things are, develop a clear and compelling vision of how you want your life to be. Somewhere within the realm of possibility is a realistic goal that will make things much better for you.
Find that goal, focus on it, refine it, and make it so desirable that you cannot help but move toward it. Fill your awareness with your vision of a positive outcome, working enthusiastically and relentlessly to find and follow the way.
You’ve spent your entire life making things happen. Take control of the energy of your intention, and get yourself where you choose to be. — Ralph Marston Read more at greatday.com/#zQqwcLxLY7Cxx7Y8.99

Relaxing peaceSometimes the most powerful thing you can do is relax. Constantly worrying about being more effective is not what makes you more effective.
What makes you more effective is living with authenticity. What makes you more effective is staying focused on a meaningful purpose.
Give yourself the time and space to remember the best of who you are and what you truly care about. Give yourself the benefit of a peaceful, relaxed perspective.
Much of what is urgent is not particularly important. Step back from the noisy, breathless confusion and fall gently into a feeling of real peace.
Take time to breathe deeply and calmly, to experience, to wonder, to love, and to live. Take time to see the goodness, and to make a little more of it.
Within you is the potential for healing, relaxing peace. Let it come and let it be. — Ralph Marston Read more at greatday.com/#SEwkbLo5w8JlXKST.99

Your best day yetYou are here, on this day, with dreams, desires, challenges, opportunities, and the ability to successfully deal with it all. So give this day a solid, meaningful, positive purpose and claim the great value it offers.
Make the choice to make some progress in a direction of your choosing. Instead of merely letting the time pass, put life and love, substance and experience into that time.
Think of what a great opportunity you have with each day that comes your way. You have the opportunity to make a difference, to truly change the world, and to live your precious life in new and joyful ways.
Look back and recall the best day you’ve ever experienced, and make the choice to make this one even better. The quality of each day depends on what you put into it, so start right now to put your best into this day that you have.
Instead of merely wishing for what could be or complaining about what has been, you can do something much more powerful. You can act, right here and now, to significantly raise the quality of your life experience.
Today is happening, so take an active and positively supportive role. Feel your authentic purpose, live this day with that purpose, and make it the best day yet.— Ralph Marston Read more at greatday.com/#vawbIPPeOuqZxF6L.99

Good things you deserveLiving richly isn’t just for someone else. You deserve a life that’s filled with richness and joy, and you deserve to be the person who makes it happen.
Good fortune isn’t just for someone else. You deserve to have good fortune, and you deserve the experience of creating that good fortune with your attitude and your efforts.
You deserve to have a lucky break. So get busy and do what it takes to give yourself one.
Let today be the day you stop waiting for something good to come along. Get up, get going, and make something good, valuable and meaningful out of what you already have.
Go ahead and give yourself all the good things you deserve. Feel how great it feels to be positive, focused, helpful, compassionate, caring, productive and joyful.
You deserve the best in life precisely because you’re fully capable of making it happen. Your opportunity to live richly is here and now, so put it to outstanding use without another moment’s delay.— Ralph Marston Read more at greatday.com/#OMA3Qwc3ciDR472c.99

Stronger than the problemsDo not seek to be free of the problems. Work to be stronger than the problems.
A life with no problems would be a life with no opportunities for growth or achievement. That’s not what you want, and it is certainly not realistic.
In the real world there are difficult problems, and there will always be. Yet there are also countless possibilities for progress and true fulfillment.
Don’t waste your time fantasizing about a life free of problems. Instead, use your imagination and your efforts to transform those problems into positive value.
Embrace each situation as it is, along with all the problems. Accept that the problems exist, and you can then begin to successfully work through them.
Life will always be challenging in one way or another. So rise to the challenges and use your unique set of abilities to make life great.— Ralph Marston Read more at greatday.com/#TWkgVYaguCIdOwcG.99

Make it greatIt is nearly impossible for one person to quickly achieve great things. Yet it is within any person’s reach to do small things, again and again, until they add up to great results.
If you attempt to jump across a wide chasm in a single bound, you’ll fall helplessly to the bottom. However, when you walk carefully down one side, then across the floor and back up again, you’ll make it successfully to the other side.
What is it you seek to do, or have, or become, or experience? Work on it steadily, in challenging yet achievable steps, beginning right now.
Those who greedily want it all immediately end up with nothing but frustration. Those who persist, and then persist some more with one step after another, can reach whatever level they choose to reach.
The only way to truly enjoy the reward is to also enjoy the journey that brings you to it. Every moment, every obstacle, every advance and setback, every twist and turn is part of that journey.
Have faith, patience, purpose and unstoppable persistence. You’ll get there, and will indeed make it great.— Ralph Marston Read more at greatday.com/#gA6b0eudcjrLvLXx.99

Choose to feelWhen you don’t feel like smiling, that’s when a smile will absolutely do the most good. When you don’t feel like laughter, that’s when a laugh can completely change your whole outlook.
You do not have to live at the mercy of your feelings. You can choose to be the master of those feelings and the master of your actions.
It doesn’t matter whether it is easy or hard, reasonable or unreasonable to choose the way you act and feel. You can do it anyway.
Don’t use your feelings as an easy excuse to do the wrong thing. Use them as a well-informed guide for doing what is good and right.
Pay attention to your feelings, learn from them, experience, enjoy and appreciate them. But don’t let them enslave you.
Go ahead, feel life intensely. And make the choice to be in control and to live with intelligent, positively focused purpose.— Ralph Marston Read more at greatday.com/#ZFsGY6FyUiDrB4JH.99

Persistent positive perspectiveIf you are resentful about the interruptions, you make those interruptions last even longer. When you get angry about being hurt, you prolong the pain.
Negativity wastes your time and your life. In return, it brings you nothing desirable.
Negativity causes you to see and experience troubles that otherwise would not be there. Negativity blinds you to the goodness that is all around you, and separates you from much of life’s richness.
When you feel resentment, anger, envy, despair, anxiety or any other negative feeling coming on, quickly let it go. Make the choice to not allow a negative perspective to drain value from your life.
It can be very easy to be negative in response to life’s various occurrences. Yet it becomes extremely difficult to live with the consequences of all that negativity.
It is actually just as easy to let the negativity go. Make that choice, and fill your life with the real treasures that come from a persistent positive perspective. — Ralph Marston Read more at greatday.com/#8qOZfwheBSzMMsfd.99

Widen your viewIf you’re having trouble finding an answer, it’s probably because you’re continuing to look where you’ve already looked. If it seems that the problems have no good solutions, widen your view.
The answers and the opportunities are most certainly out there. In order to discover them you must let go of some assumptions and open yourself to new possibilities.
Conditions change, people change, and the whole world can change quickly. If you continue to see things exactly the way you did yesterday, you’re missing a whole lot of new opportunities.
It’s great to stay firmly anchored in your long-held, most treasured values. Yet it’s also vitally important to live and express those values in new, creative and updated ways.
There are countless ways to enrich your life and your world that you’ve never even considered. Step out of your routine, step back from your assumptions, widen your view and see some of those possibilities.
Make the choice to venture beyond what you’re comfortable with, beyond what you already know and assume. Great new treasures are waiting for you there.— Ralph Marston Read more at greatday.com/#mP7AbR0bRZXJwCaU.99

Energy and driveJust about any technique, process or system can lead to success or to failure. What matters most is not the technique, but the energy and drive you put into it.
If you feel you’re stuck in a hopeless situation, you’ll remain stuck as long as you feel that way. As soon as you become enthusiastic about the opportunities for improvement, you’ll begin to make those improvements.
In every kind of endeavor, there are those who succeed spectacularly and those who barely get by. The difference is not in the occupation, but in attitude, commitment and level of energy.
There are people who make it their business to make a positive difference in life. Choosing each day to be one of those people will give you a continuing supply of amazingly effective energy.
Even though you may not be in an ideal situation, you can create an ideal outcome. Use the day, use the moment, use the encounter, use the circumstance to lift the world higher.
With an attitude of generosity and a commitment to excellence, every day can be a great day. Decide to give real, meaningful value to life right now, and feel the positive energy begin to flow.— Ralph Marston Read more at greatday.com/#6ZvUHIDAbKVW2lAe.99

Something for somethingPlenty of people will promise you something for nothing, yet those are always empty promises. Even when you can manage to get something for nothing, it does not bring any real joy to your life.
The point of life is not to figure out how to get something for nothing. The real fulfillment in life comes not from merely consuming, but from creating.
You cannot be truly rich simply by having a certain set of material possessions. The richness that matters is genuine inner richness, and the satisfaction that comes from knowing that you’re making a positive difference in life.
Don’t waste your time wishing, hoping, demanding or begging to get something for nothing. Joyfully put your energy into creating new, useful and beautiful value out of the unique abundance with which you’ve been blessed.
The great thing about being alive is that you can, through your creative endeavors, transform whatever you have into whatever you desire. That amazing, limitless opportunity presents itself every moment of every day.
If you wish to have something of value, then work to create something of even greater value. That’s the reliable way to be truly rich in all matters small and large.— Ralph Marston Read more at greatday.com/#EKyrHGK9237cMvOF.99

Vast abundanceYou have much more than you can ever possibly realize. Life is a process of connecting with deeper and deeper levels of value that have always been there, and always will.
Does it ever seem that the world has passed you by, or that there are just no opportunities for you? Then it’s time to move to a more profound and fulfilling level.
You are capable of much more than you have yet attempted. Fill your heart with goodness, make the commitment to express that goodness, and there will be a way.
The reason you get stuck is not because you have too little. It is because you expect too little.
The way to expect more, at your deepest level, is to make the commitment to give more goodness to life. Make that commitment, and suddenly new, exciting possibilities come into view.
Think for a moment, and realize that always, there is something good you can give. In that simple thought you know without a doubt that life’s vast abundance is always available to you.— Ralph Marston Read more at greatday.com/#4zitLRsJkOO51EgK.99

Enjoy being the real youFear is the enemy of creativity. If you are anxious and worried about what you are creating, then what you are creating will not be worth very much.
Let go of your attachment to getting it right. Allow yourself to enjoy the experience of simply letting it flow.
When you are truly having fun you can create magnificent things. When you stop worrying about whether people will like it, people will love it.
The way to be great is to be authentic. The way to be authentic is to enjoy who you truly are and what you truly love.
Don’t waste a lot of time trying to guess what might matter to someone else. Put your love and effort and energy into what matters to you, and many others will benefit.
In order to give of yourself you must fully be yourself. Enjoy being the real you, and bring great value to life.— Ralph Marston Read more at greatday.com/#HRqOHpsYxQUYs0UA.99

Right here and nowIf you wish to have it done, begin to do it now. If you wish to experience life, then fully live it today.
The future is not certain and the past is out of reach. Now is where your possibilities dwell, and now is when you must live them.
Don’t waste your wish on what might never be, or long for what is finished. Invest your energy in the magnificent life that is right here and now.
Yes, by all means work toward a meaningful purpose. And as you do, find richness and joy in the portion of the journey that is happening now.
Everything that is, is now, and it is more than enough. Let go of any sense of lack or need, and open yourself to the unique wonder of this moment.
There is limitless value to be lived right here and now. This is when you can experience life at its best, so do. — Ralph Marston Read more at greatday.com/#I5bmblhB9CDGDf5f.99

New level of courageIt is comfortable to stay where you are. But soon, that comfort will turn into boredom, frustration and regret.
It is uncomfortable to take on a challenge and to venture along a new path. Yet that is precisely what makes you stronger, more interesting, more capable and more fully alive.
Go ahead and do what makes you feel slightly apprehensive. That is also what makes you grow.
Feel the fear and apprehension. Learn from it all and let it prepare you.
Then, step boldly forward. Experience the new level of courage you have just attained.
Make good, purposeful use of that courage so that it grows ever stronger. And let it lead you forward into the true greatness that is your destiny.— Ralph Marston Read more at greatday.com/#RBpfq8kfyCprG13i.99

Your great potentialTo build something beautiful and wonderful takes time and effort. Make good use of every moment you have.
You can go a long, long way. To do so, you must be going on that way every chance you get.
What you can accomplish is truly amazing. So work on it with persistence and commitment, and bring all that great value to life.
The minutes and hours of this day will quickly pass no matter what you do with them. Choose to do the highest and best with each of them, and to fulfill your great potential.
Rather than dwelling on the excuses, focus intently on the possibilities. Find great joy in the fact that you can make a difference, and make that difference again and again.

Focus on the good thingsYour mind is astonishingly powerful. Focus that power on the good things.
Your thoughts create the landscape in which you experience life. Make that landscape empowering in a positive and fulfilling way.
Even if something is very small, you can make it enormous in your life by choosing to intensely focus your thoughts upon it. So focus on what you wish to make bigger, and not on what you want to avoid.
Let your thoughts center around all that you love, respect, admire and treasure. Give positive power to each of your moments by giving positive focus to your thoughts.
Sure, there are plenty of negative things that can quickly capture your attention. That’s why it is important to be able to just as quickly put yourself back into a positive perspective.
By all means deal with the bad things as necessary, while keeping your primary focus on the good things. Make the best use of the mental power that is yours by keeping it pointed in a positive direction.— Ralph Marston Read more at greatday.com/#kfrQtvGihI4vxUsj.99

Richness flowing outIf you cannot fully value and appreciate what you have, you might as well not have it. Life’s richness is valuable precisely to the extent that you make it valuable.
The way to make it valuable is to be thankful. The way to be truly thankful for what you have is to make good and meaningful use of it.
This moment is an opportunity to do just that. This situation, whatever else it may be, is your chance to create new value and richness.
Look at what you have right now, but not as a static scorecard. Look at what you have and see the possibilities for moving forward.
Your highest fulfillment will come not from accumulating possessions. It will come from creating and expressing new value in your own unique way.
Be truly and immensely thankful for this moment and for what’s in it. Then live it in such a way that new richness comes flowing out.— Ralph Marston Read more at www.greatday.com/#TlUD1m3GCThW5mhw.99

Get life going your wayDon’t wait for life to go your way. Get your own thoughts and actions going your way and the other things in life will reliably follow along.
Step forward and take a positive, active role in creating your own future. Instead of worrying about what might or might not happen, work to make what does happen the best you can imagine.
With every moment and every choice, you have an influence on the way your life unfolds. Instead of being a victim of circumstance, find ways to utilize each circumstance for meaningful, positive purposes.
Though you cannot control every influence in your life, you absolutely can control what you make of those various influences. Make the choice, again and again, to make the best of them.
Take what comes, whatever it may be, with gratitude and positive expectations. Do what you must to make something good out of it.
There is always a way forward, so take it. There is always something useful, valuable and positive you can do, so do it, and get life going your way.— Ralph Marston Read more at www.greatday.com/#v8ODLx0MZCSGa5yh.99

Goodness in returnIf you have been disappointed, take heart. For you are also in a great place from which to start.
When you’ve made the effort and failed to get the desired result, see it as the blessing it is. You have just discovered what doesn’t work and that will help you figure out what does work.
When people are critical of you, sincerely thank them. They have just given you a valuable perspective which can help you to become even more effective.
In the moments when frustration comes, feel the intense energy that comes with it. Transform that energy into determination, and make it a powerful, positive force.
Even when there are good reasons to feel sorry for yourself, don’t. Those very same reasons can be reasons to move forward with more commitment than ever before.
Whatever life may give you, choose to give goodness in return. And nothing will be able to hold you back from the sweet fulfillment you deserve.— Ralph Marston Read more at www.greatday.com/#jflBdV0wtiSh5bYz.99

Too valuable to wasteConsider what a truly great day you have today. Think of all the magnificent possibilities that are yours right now.
You can fill the next hour with sixty minutes of focused, purposeful, effective effort. You can bring new and meaningful value to your work, your home, your family, your community and your dreams.
On this day you can learn, experience, work, feel, love and play. You can make creative use of whatever you have to move in the direction of whatever you desire.
The possibilities are limited only by your imagination. So let yourself imagine something wonderful, and then enjoy the wonderful experience of making it happen.
Though it might seem easier and more comfortable to just do nothing, that’s really not the case. If you waste the great possibilities of this day, you will very soon come to regret it.
So avoid that regret and jump into action. Today is much too valuable to waste. — Ralph Marston Read more at www.greatday.com/#ilz53HvU2ITVelB1.99

Fully thereWherever you are, be there fully. For where you are is where you can most effectively act and live.
If you’re constantly wishing that you were somewhere else, you diminish the opportunities for where you are now. When your thoughts are in another place or time, your actions lose much of their effectiveness.
It’s great to dream, to plan, to aspire, to reach for new and improved circumstances. And yet the way to successfully do that is by being the best you can be in the place where you now find yourself.
It’s great to keep yourself focused on an ambitious goal. And that focus is the most effective when it is crafted from the perspective of where you are now.
To successfully travel the path from here to there, you must start with being fully here. The more you give your attention and your energy to making the most of where you are, the more quickly you’ll move along that path.
There is much to be accomplished, much to be lived in every place and in every moment. Be there fully for all of them, and life will be rich indeed.— Ralph Marston Read more at www.greatday.com/#QFhZPBDhlk2gk2dT.99

Carefully listenStop worrying so much about what you’re trying to say, and listen for a while. Though it may seem strange, one very effective way to express yourself is by listening.
Listen, carefully, lovingly and attentively to the world around you. Listen to others and listen to life.
Let go of your assumptions about what you expect to hear. Listen not only with your ears, but also with your heart and spirit.
Pay attention to what life has to say to you. There is no end to the valuable lessons you can learn.
When you think you know it all, you deny yourself the opportunity to learn new things. When you interact with others only to impress them with how much you know, they’ll soon understand that you know very little.
The more you listen, observe and learn, the more powerfully you’ll be able to express yourself. Take heed of what life has to say, and what you learn will carry you far.— Ralph Marston Read more at www.greatday.com/#foAqLE43glKuq17A.99

This day is an entire day of your life. You have the opportunity to live this day in such a way that it will make a positive difference for years to come.

You could take the time and make the effort to learn a new skill that will add value to every day of your life. You could visit a place you’ve never been to before, or re-connect with an old and dear friend.
You can thoughtfully re-commit yourself to your highest priorities. And then you can take real, effective action that will bring those priorities to life.
You can live this day in such a way that you’ll be forever thankful for what you’ve made of it. Get started now, and make it one to remember.— Ralph Marston Read more at greatday.com/motivate/131107.html#5rbpLlSxLZvUBBZ5.99

Highest visionLook up from what you’re doing and look around for a minute. See what a beautiful world you’re in.
Take your mind off the problems for a moment, and focus on the positive possibilities. Consider how very much you are able to do.
Turn your attention for a while away from the worries and anxieties. Remind yourself of all your many blessings.
The direction of your focus is the direction your life will move. Let yourself move toward what is good, valuable, strong and true.
The things that fill your awareness are the things that will fill your life and your world. So expand your awareness beyond your own concerns and toward the best of what can be.

Success is not a secretSuccess is not a secret. It is a choice, a choice that is made over and over again.
The choice that brings success and achievement is more than a one-time event. It is a choice that is integrated into every moment of life.
It’s one thing to decide upon a course of action and then leave it at that. Such a strategy will leave you with nothing but empty wishes and good intentions.
Real achievement comes from choosing to achieve, again and again, moment after moment, until the goal is attained. Real achievement comes from choosing to achieve, and then continually reaffirming that choice with action.
Choosing success is really quite easy. To actually reach that success, just keep on choosing it.
Keep on choosing, and acting on that choice, for as long as necessary. And anything is within your reach.— Ralph Marston Read more at greatday.com/motivate/131109.html#hqgif2Rh8bWTd4u1.99

Experience the richnessYou put a lot of energy and effort into living. So on a regular basis, take time to fully experience your life and the world in which you live.
Spend some time that has no purpose other than to take in all the richness of which you’re a part. Let go, for a while, of the need to analyze, to criticize, to judge and react.
Allow your thoughts to be still. Feel the wonder, the goodness, the beauty of simply being, and knowing that you are.
Experience life, not in order to gain any advantage or to impress someone. Experience life because the depth of its richness has no limit.
The more fully you experience and appreciate life, the more you’ll find yourself needing less and having more. Experience life, and you’ll clearly see how truly rich you already are.
Life is a gift so precious that it has no equal. Experience life, and give that gift to yourself and others.— Ralph Marston Read more at greatday.com/motivate/131111.html#C7T1SMTxc90x8Vzj.99

Embrace responsibilityDon’t blame others, don’t blame the situation, and don’t blame yourself. Instead of wasting your energy on assigning blame, empower yourself by accepting responsibility.
The way you experience life is no one’s fault. It is your choice.
Fully accept and embrace responsibility for all that surrounds you, and something amazing happens. You gain the power to make a positive difference.
If you run from the troubles, they grow stronger and chase you more and more relentlessly. Yet the moment you take responsibility for those troubles, you begin to have some control over them.
If you merely wish for your dreams to come true, they won’t. Yet when you step up and take responsibility for bringing those dreams to life, they begin to take on real form and substance.
Responsibility is the key that gives you access to all the best life has to offer. Embrace responsibility in all things, and unlock the great value that is yours to live. — Ralph Marston Read more at greatday.com/motivate/131112.html#dqijuuoSCL1RPpYW.99

Beautiful realityAct not out of judgment, but out of love. Live not from a position of fear, but from a perspective of joy.
Let go of the need to prove how good you are. Live in such a way that real goodness, joy and generosity flow naturally from all you do.
Instead of seeking to gain more advantage, discover new ways to give more value. Instead of worrying about what might be, live the immense treasure of what already is.
Don’t waste your time looking for happiness in this thing or that. Let happiness always find you right where you are, doing whatever you are doing.
See life not as a contest where some must lose in order for others to win. See it as an opportunity to lift yourself higher by lifting many, many others through your unique gifts.
Let go of the illusion that you must struggle. And let in the beautiful reality of how very good life can be. — Ralph Marston Read more at greatday.com/motivate/131113.html#D8rIWHMC1UdJr2D2.99

Beyond the good lifeSometimes fear doesn’t really feel like fear. Sometimes it feels very comfortable.
Sometimes the desire to remain comfortably where you are can prevent you from being the best you can be. Sometimes you might live with unacceptable pain just so you don’t have to make any changes.
Sometimes it is useful to remind yourself that there is more to life than just being comfortable. Sometimes a change, though it may be intimidating, can do you a whole lot of good.
It’s great to appreciate and value where you are. Yet life will surely and eventually insist that you continue to move forward.
So make the choice to get a little bit beyond what you’re comfortable with. Feel true gratitude and appreciation for life’s richness, and know that there is even more beyond the horizon.
