See the richnessThe best time to appreciate what you have is when you have it. Stop and think of all you have right now and of how truly valuable it all is.
Once anything is gone, no matter how much you appreciate it and miss it, you will no longer be able to use it. So make good and meaningful use of what you have while you still have it.
You cannot truly enjoy what you have if you’re always grabbing and wishing for more. Remember that fulfillment comes from thankfulness and not from greediness.
Right now, there is much for which to be thankful. Right here, there is much to appreciate and to utilize in bringing new richness and goodness to life.
Everyone is rich in uniquely valuable ways. Unfortunately, not everyone realizes it.
Choose to see the special richness that is yours on this very day. The more you appreciate and make use of what you have, the better your life becomes. — Ralph Marston Read more at greatday.com/motivate/140521.html#fUUPt5KF89MZbjX0.99

Joyfully move onThat interruption, setback or disappointment is not the end of the world. So do yourself a favor and stop treating it as such.
Don’t make the negative things much worse than they are by getting all upset about them. Seek to let them go as quickly as possible, and to move on in a positive, meaningful way.
Taking everything too seriously weighs you down. Lighten up and let the power of joy into your life.
Problems will arise and disruptions will happen. Instead of feeling sorry for yourself, remind yourself how fortunate you are that you’re able to successfully deal with those problems.
A negative development is not the end of the world. It can be the beginning of new skills, capabilities, wisdom and experience.
Let go of the tension and let yourself see the positive possibilities. Lighten up, and allow joy and gratitude to point the way forward. — Ralph Marston Read more at greatday.com/motivate/140522.html#6IzLUJfjpQushaFe.99

What you imagineIn your imagination, go again and again to magnificent, beautiful places. In your life, work to bring into being the beauty you have imagined.
Let your imagination inspire you. Feel the power of your imagination as it gets you going.
Allow your imagination to assist you in zeroing in on a meaningful and compelling destination and purpose. Use your imagination to explore ways to get there and to remind you of why you want to get there.
What you create comes from what you imagine. From a well-nurtured imagination comes a well-lived life.
Though imagination doesn’t do all the work, it can serve to powerfully direct and focus the efforts you make. Imagination gives you meaningful, desirable and compelling places to go.
Imagine living with greater energy, more enthusiasm, joy, effectiveness and fulfillment. Imagine it, and you’re well on your way there. — Ralph Marston Read more at greatday.com/motivate/140523.html#GrqebqzSdePwRQ4v.99

Fulfill your wishesLooking back on today, what will you wish you had done? Now is your opportunity to fulfill those future wishes.
The most painful regrets are for things not done, for opportunities missed, and for actions not taken. Now is your chance to avoid those regrets by taking action, when you can.
Now is a day to fill with life and love and effort and achievement. Now is the time you’ve been waiting for and working toward your whole life.
You’ll never look back and wish that you had spent more time worrying, or that you should have been more angry or resentful. So keep worry, resentment and anger out of your life today.
Instead, think of what you can do with this day that will cause you to look back on it with gratitude. Remind yourself, over and over again, that this is your chance to actually do those things.
Right here and now, make your future wishes come true. And when you arrive at tomorrow, instead of empty, regretful wishes you’ll have the real satisfaction of a truly fulfilling life.— Ralph Marston Read more at greatday.com/motivate/140524.html#Ly9gDLRxm36PFtgp.99

Persistence will get you thereEvery success story is a story of persistence. No matter where you start, with enough persistence you can reach the goal.
Persistence is not particularly glamorous or exciting. Yet the results of persistence can be truly amazing.
Persistence is not always easy, though it is always accessible. Once you’ve made the effort you can continue making the effort, and that’s what will make the difference.
You may not get very many lucky breaks. Yet every single day you will get the opportunity to persist, so take that opportunity and run with it.
It’s completely understandable that you will, from time to time, feel like giving up. It’s also absolutely possible to let go of that dejected feeling, and to replace it with an even stronger desire to persist no matter what.
Every turn of events is an opportunity to keep going. Take that opportunity, and with persistence you’ll get yourself all the way there.— Ralph Marston Read more at greatday.com/motivate/140526.html#qI4EQQEssx9rWzjy.99

Fresh perspectiveThis is a new, unique day. So don’t live it like an old one.
You have the opportunity today to learn, to grow, to achieve and to experience new things. To do so, you must exercise the courage to let go of some old, comfortable, predictable things.
Give your life some fresh, new energy today. Choose to step beyond what’s familiar and open yourself to new possibilities.
It’s easy to stay firmly and comfortably situated in your same old, habitual rut. However, it’s much more energizing and fulfilling to shake things up a bit.
Instead of listening only to those people you know you’ll agree with, consider the opinions and perspectives of those with whom you disagree. Rather than going only where you’ve already been and doing only what you’ve already done, put yourself where you can see life from a fresh perspective.
Richness in living comes from more than merely experiencing what you’ve already experienced. Much of that richness will come from discovering new ways to engage in the wondrous dance that is your life.

The good lifeThere are a lot of good people in the world. There are a lot of good things going on in life.
Don’t let the negative things get you down. Take them in stride, and move quickly on to something that will make all of life more positive.
Every day is an opportunity to do great and meaningful work, and to experience life in new, fulfilling ways. Every day is a day in which you can make life better for others and for yourself.
Treasure each moment without letting the negative distractions get in your way. Put positive, meaningful, satisfying effort into life, and continue to feel how great it is to make a difference.
If people don’t treat you fairly, that’s their problem. When life presents you with difficult challenges, that’s your opportunity to shine.
The way to live the good life is to live each moment with goodness in your heart. Life is good because you always have the ability to make it so. — Ralph Marston Read more at greatday.com/motivate/140528.html#cvMmCqjXWJEtKl0K.99

Making things matterWhen everything is free and instantly available, nothing matters. It is only when you must work for something that it becomes important.
It seems nice to imagine a life completely free of challenges. Yet such a life would be utterly and painfully meaningless.
It is what you put into life that makes life good for you. It is what you give of yourself that gives real meaning to whatever you experience.
Keep in mind that you must venture in order to experience adventure. You must give in order to know how truly great it is to live.
Don’t waste your time wishing in vain for a life free of effort. Instead, invest your precious time in loving, meaningful, value-creating, life-enhancing activities.
Make the commitment, invest the time, and do the work to make things matter. Your life has magnificent potential, so with your efforts give it the substance and meaning it deserves. — Ralph Marston Read more at greatday.com/motivate/140529.html#fuwPoa5jk4yKMm99.99

Allow creativityOne big thing that gets in the way of creativity is fear. When you can let go of your fear, you allow your creativity to naturally blossom.
If you’re fearful about what other people will think, you won’t be able to express yourself with authenticity and effectiveness. If you fear that you’re wasting your time, that’s exactly what you’ll be doing.
Go ahead, have faith in yourself and your ability to create value, and take action. If you have chosen to feel fear and doubt, you can just as easily choose to let them go.
Let go of the fear and let the true beauty of your creative spirit flow. Focus on what you love, and let it inspire you to create in great, valuable and meaningful ways.
Live creatively, allowing your actions and expressions to come naturally and easily from your highest values. Step forward with confidence and joy, eager to creatively make a positive difference in the world.
You have so very much to give. Have the courage to give it freely, creatively and without inhibition. — Ralph Marston Read more at greatday.com/motivate/140530.html#MFxkYKHRjXg2sIxU.99

Exercise your possibilitiesIt’s great to have plenty of positive possibilities and desirable options, yet they are not enough. For those possibilities to have value, you must exercise them.
You cannot live and prosper just on possibilities. A great life comes from putting forth the effort to do great things with whatever possibilities you have.
You cannot get by just on your skills, your knowledge, your connections and your ambition. You must put those things to work in a meaningful way.
By all means, gather and embrace the best possibilities every chance you get. And by all means, act on them.
Take those great possibilities, add your own time and effort, and transform it all into rich, valuable life experience. Instead of just sitting endlessly on a beautiful beach thinking to yourself how great it is, jump in and go for a swim.
There is so very much you have going for you, so make good use of it. Treasure the great possibilities, and get busy transforming them into a truly great life.— Ralph Marston Read more at greatday.com/motivate/140531.html#r7se8Eye0h13RkRV.99

Great place to beAllow what wants to happen, to happen. Allow what is right, to be, and to expand.
Don’t fight against your own authentic nature. Embrace the unique beauty of the gifts you have to give.
Live with joy and positive purpose in the moment, whatever it may bring. Do what you know is right, what you know is best, and what you know is true.
Life is more magnificent than you can ever imagine. Go ahead and imagine anyway, from the perspective of what you love and value the most, and bring what you imagine to life.
Look at every little morsel of existence with profound gratitude and ecstatic appreciation. Commit yourself, again and again, to living a life worthy of all the abundance that’s available to you.
With each dawning day, dive gleefully into that abundance, eager to create new value and meaning as you journey through it all. Remember that where you are is a great place to be, so give the greatness a faithful life from which to brightly shine.— Ralph Marston Read more at greatday.com/motivate/140602.html#amcOXL0S2zHkhLw5.99

Transform frustrationIt’s easy and natural to feel frustrated with life. When you do, step back, experience the frustration, and let it motivate you, but don’t let it control you.
There is something good and right, powerful and purposeful within you that makes your frustration possible. Ask yourself what it could be.
Frustration occurs when life doesn’t unfold the way you’d like for it to. Instead of letting that extreme sense of disappointment overwhelm you, step back from it and get your bearing.
Challenge yourself to come up with a positive, measured response rather than a destructive, impulsive one. After all, you are capable of great things, so use the occasion to engage that capability.
Take the raw power of frustration and transform it into the power of positive intention. Let go of the self-defeating need to lash out, and see all the possibilities for moving forward.
Then follow through on your intention and take real, effective action. And from a frustrating situation, just as from any situation, you can always choose to triumph.

Positive power on the insideNo matter what may be happening on the outside, you are in charge of the way you are on the inside. And the way you are inside makes all the difference in the value and fulfillment you experience in each day.
Will you be overwhelmed by the problems or energized by the opportunities? That depends on the attitude with which you choose to live.
Will you be a victim of life’s circumstances or will you take positive control of your own destiny? The inner you makes that choice.
You can decide whether to live each day in the darkness of despair or in the light of possibility. You can choose between being a victim or a victor.
It is easy to blame your outer circumstances for the way your life unfolds. Yet the most influential factor is the perspective from which you respond to the way life unfolds.
At any time and place, in any situation, you can choose a positive, empowering, life-affirming perspective. Keep positive power on the inside, and you can successfully deal with whatever happens everywhere else.— Ralph Marston Read more at greatday.com/motivate/140604.html#53Cea85U71LkjWkB.99

Be truly youIt does you no good to become highly skilled at pretending to be someone you’re not. Be you, enjoy it fully and authentically, and spread the joy around.
Don’t waste a lot of time and energy trying to do what you think might impress others. Be you, live what you love, and be impressed yourself at all the great things life has to offer.
It doesn’t take a whole big complicated set of circumstances to bring you the life you want to live. It just takes a little honesty with yourself, about yourself.
Take a deep, peaceful breath, let go of the burdensome need to maintain pretenses, and be you. Feel the healing joy of living each day true to who you are.
You don’t need power or possessions or drama to fulfill your purpose. All you have to do is to be you.
The very best you can do is to be truly you. Be you, and enjoy bringing your unique greatness to life.— Ralph Marston Read more at greatday.com/motivate/140605.html#TBeBpMe6o3XRY0UV.99

Key to successThe key to success is not in some particular technique, program, ritual or idea. The key to your success is you, and what you do.
There are many great people, products, services, values and philosophies that can be extremely helpful. Yet any authentic, fulfilling success you enjoy will come largely from you.
Though you are highly deserving, success in life is not a foregone conclusion. However, you are fortunate to have the opportunity and the ability to make it happen.
If you wish to be successful, then give the best of yourself to that success. The extent of your success flows directly from the size of your commitment.
Be willing to step up and take full and continuing responsibility for your success. That’s what will make it happen.
Nothing will work to bring you success unless you work to bring about that success. Choose a goal that truly means something, do the work, and enjoy all the success you will surely create.

Relax and get busyIt might seem like a contradiction to be active and involved while at the same time being relaxed and joyful. But there’s really no contradiction at all.
Activity and effort add great richness to life. And there’s no reason why you must be stressed and uptight about making that effort.
It’s idleness, not positive effort, that can bring so much despair to life. Avoid that despair by doing something valuable and meaningful every chance you get.
It’s great to be peaceful, relaxed, and enjoying life. And you can be all those things while putting forth disciplined, persistent, effective effort.
Don’t assume that you must wallow in idleness just to relax. Make the choice to relax and to enjoy yourself even in the busiest of times.
Life is an adventure, so live that adventure actively and enthusiastically. At the same time, relax and enjoy the process of adding real richness to your life and your world. — Ralph Marston Read more at greatday.com/motivate/140607.html#W6igw87IOQV31UPP.99

Positive empowermentDon’t waste your time, thoughts and energy in a state of need. Invest yourself and your life in action.
Free yourself from the burdens of anxiety and worry about what might or might not happen. Get busy living fully, making good and enriching things happen.
This moment is too valuable to contaminate it with negative, limiting thoughts. There are great things you can do right now to improve your life and your world, so go ahead and do them.
Choose to live in a state of positive empowerment by choosing to follow through on your best possibilities. You have the ability to make a difference, and the more you engage that ability, the more fulfilling life becomes.
If you’re waiting for the perfect opportunity, wait no longer. This day is the best opportunity you’ve ever had, because it is when you can take action and move forward.
Let go of the empty wishes, the complaints, the apprehensions, and let yourself do what you do best. Let yourself live richly by acting in every moment to make your world a better place. — Ralph Marston Read more at greatday.com/motivate/140609.html#ibcqLW34RIibGJKd.99

See something beautifulThere’s something beautiful about the moment you’re in. Find the beauty, feel the beauty, enjoy it, appreciate it, and let it expand.
There’s something beautiful about the place where you are. See that beauty, delight in it, and let its positive power encompass you.
In any situation, you can choose to see the beauty in life. When you do, you become more loving, more peaceful, more effective, and more fulfilled.
In seeing life’s beauty you are able to recognize life’s best possibilities. Appreciate the beauty, and you gain access to the abundance in which you are immersed.
Instead of reacting with anger, despair or frustration, choose to be amazed by the beauty that is always there. Something about every situation is beautiful, and you gain valuable insight by aligning yourself with it.
In what you do, in where you go, there is beauty. Choose to see and to live that beauty, and make your life truly rich.— Ralph Marston Read more at greatday.com/motivate/140610.html#efGkTeCGA3AZIh7w.99

Every new momentTime will pass no matter what. Give yourself something to show for it.
Give yourself some adventure, some achievement, some fellowship, learning, exhilaration, and other great moments of experience. Give yourself the benefit of working with discipline and focus to tackle a meaningful challenge.
Time moves forward, so get yourself moving forward with it. Make this day uniquely fulfilling, and then create even more fulfillment tomorrow.
You cannot go back and reclaim the hours, days and years that have already passed. Yet you can work to make the very most of every new moment that arrives.
Make time your friend by filling it with positive purpose as it arrives. Make time work for you by doing your best work with the time you have.
Time is filled with great promise and possibility. Claim all that value with purposeful, focused effort and lift your world higher as each moment passes. — Ralph Marston Read more at greatday.com/motivate/140611.html#FSYseImMCrQffVaw.99

Make new joyIt is great to treasure the joys of the past. When you do so, those joys will always be with you, bringing new pleasure each time you think of them.
But don’t get so dependent on past joys that you neglect to make new ones. Instead, allow the joys you’ve previously experienced to inspire you to make even more.
Circumstances have surely changed, and you’ll never again have the exact same joyful experiences you had before. However, you most certainly can create new, original joyful memories to treasure.
Be thankful about all the great times you’ve known. And be willing to make more great times with this day, with this moment, wherever you may be.
Don’t limit the possibilities for joy by assuming that the new joys must be just like the previous ones. Continue to open yourself to new, creative options for adding richness and fulfillment to life.
There are plenty of ways, right here and right now, to bring fresh joy to life. Treasure the joys of the past, and make some new ones today. — Ralph Marston Read more at greatday.com/motivate/140612.html#2XU7tuaYvJIMtp3b.99

Powerful advantageBy complaining about your troubles you make those troubles bigger. By being thankful for your blessings you make those blessings more prominent in your life.
If you dwell on how difficult and complicated some particular task is, you make it even more difficult for yourself. It is by being thankful and enthusiastic that you get it done more effectively.
Your thoughts give great power to what they’re focused upon. So choose to focus those thoughts on whatever you wish to make more influential in your life.
Your thoughts create the perspective from which you experience and interact with life. It is always in your best interest to make that a positive, empowering perspective.
Your thoughts won’t change the external factors in your world. However, your thoughts will most certainly affect what you can accomplish with those external realities.
Choose those thoughts that will frame this day in a positive, purposeful perspective. Your thoughts are yours to control, so make good use of them to give your actions and your life a powerful advantage. — Ralph Marston Read more at greatday.com/motivate/140613.html#Tl5Oe7bjr1iY55AM.99

Immersed in the wonderAt this very moment you are immersed in the wonder that is life. Feel the power, feel the possibilities, and live this day worthy of the greatness to which you are connected.
In even the smallest, most ordinary things there is amazing beauty and immense potential for joy. If you are bored or uninspired, you’re simply not paying attention.
Take a moment to take a deep breath, to take it all in, and to marvel at your exceedingly good fortune. Remind yourself that you are rich beyond all conceivable measure.
If you happen to feel burdened by some particular situation or limitation, take a step back and reconsider. Whatever may be troubling you is small compared to the nearly limitless options you have for doing something about it.
Though there are many problems, there are always many more positive possibilities. To transform those possibilities into positive reality, it’s up to you to take purposeful, focused action.
In this moment, feel the immensity of life’s wonder. And find delight in making positive use of it. — Ralph Marston Read more at greatday.com/motivate/140614.html#OL4xVsIGzHhZJZ15.99

Let your enthusiasm showWhen you’re enthusiastic about something, you can often appear foolish and naive. Be enthusiastic anyway.
Sometimes your enthusiasm will be misdirected, but that doesn’t mean there’s anything wrong with enthusiasm itself. Just make the correction, and let yourself be even more enthusiastic.
Enthusiasm keeps you young, vibrant and involved in life. Enthusiasm allows the immense power of your authentic self to flow freely into the world around you.
Enthusiasm makes you interesting and causes people to want to be around you. Enthusiasm is contagious and can be used to create wonderful, positive things in life.
Don’t let yourself be embarrassed to be enthusiastic about the things that matter to you. It’s a fantastic thing to live a life of positive purpose, and to be highly enthusiastic about doing so.
So go ahead and let yourself be wonderfully, refreshingly enthusiastic about this day, this place, and this opportunity to make the most of it all. Let your enthusiasm show, and you will show all the world how great life can be.— Ralph Marston Read more at greatday.com/motivate/140616.html#vtJca5bsfejmErzi.99

Get up and get to workIf you’re disillusioned with life, get up and get to work. Do something useful, get yourself busy making a difference, and you’ll soon feel your faith in life being renewed.
If you’re frustrated or angry about something, get to work. Before long, you’ll find your focus shifting from the problems and frustrations to the possibilities and opportunities.
If you’re tired and weary, stop and rest for a little while, but not too long. Then get back up, get yourself working on something meaningful, and you’ll feel a renewed sense of energy.
It’s natural to feel lousy when you’re not making a contribution to life, but the answer is not to curse the lousy feeling. The answer is to get yourself doing something that will truly matter.
No matter how young or old or strong or infirm you may be, there’s good and useful work you can do in your own special way. Assume that there’s something valuable you can do, and from that perspective you’ll discover new and energizing ways to lift up life.
If life is troubling you or even if it’s not, get up and get to work. Make a difference with your efforts, and you’ll make your own life immensely better.— Ralph Marston Read more at greatday.com/motivate/140618.html#WK1XToCAPx7tByff.99

Get out of your own wayDon’t waste your energy being resentful about the distractions or blaming the interruptions. Just go ahead and cheerfully deal with whatever comes along.
Don’t use up all your time complaining about the problems or worrying about the challenges. Instead, be thankful that you’re able to do something positive with them, and then get busy.
There is so very much you can achieve if you’ll simply get out of your own way. There is so much you can do when you stop second-guessing yourself and allow yourself to take action.
By all means think about what you’re doing, but don’t let the thoughts get in the way of doing. Anticipate the possible problems but don’t let those imagined problems prevent you from moving forward.
You owe it to life to express your unique perspective by creating new, original value and richness in the world. You owe it to yourself to wake up every morning and spend every day free of any self-imposed limitations.
Step forward with joy and live your life. Discover in each new moment how much better you can make it.

Useless envyGetting envious doesn’t get you much. When you feel envy, make the choice to take the energy of that feeling and to point it in a more positive direction.
A much more empowering alternative to envy is gratitude. Envy creates a feeling of lack and limitation, while gratitude fosters a mindset of abundance.
When it comes to the things that matter, there’s never any reason to be envious of anyone else. You can always choose to live your life in a way that’s the most positive and fulfilling for you.
When there’s something about someone else’s life that appeals to you, look for ways to transform that feeling into positive action. Rather than being envious, be inspired.
Instead of focusing on what you don’t have, think of all the positive, value-creating things you can do. No matter where you are or what you have, there’s a world of opportunity available to you.
Make the commitment to act on that opportunity, and to bring new, unique goodness to your world. Get beyond the useless envy, and enjoy filling your life with true richness.

Live with humilityHumility is surprisingly empowering. Sincerely putting others first is an excellent way to get yourself ahead.
When you decline to grab the credit for the good things you do, others will be much more willing to work with you. When you’re not afraid to admit you don’t know it all, others will be happy to help you learn.
Boasting will never earn you any positive impressions. It mainly makes you look foolish and insecure.
Choose instead to regularly look at life from other peoples’ perspectives. Do what is best not for you alone, but what is best for everyone involved.
It is nearly impossible to achieve real success by being centered only on yourself. The best thing you can do for you is to consider what’s best for everyone else.
Always remember that true greatness does not have to be announced. Live with humility, with compassion and positive purpose, and live with that true greatness. — Ralph Marston Read more at greatday.com/motivate/140621.html#LtR5oudZdzjAY6o6.99

If you spend all your time having entertainment and information fed to you, there’s no time left to find meaning in it all. On a regular basis, disconnect from the constant feed and reconnect with the beautiful reality of who you are.
You don’t have to see and hear and know everything the instant it happens. Much of the value of knowledge comes from taking the time to process what you know.
Your power to imagine is one of the most useful and valuable abilities you have. Yet if you are constantly overloaded with intense incoming sensations, your amazing imagination will begin to wither.
There’s exquisite music of your own making to be found in moments of peaceful silence. For a little while, let go of what they are saying and rediscover who you are.
Delight in the sights, sounds, thrills and excitement of life. And find profound treasure in the peace and quiet. — Ralph Marston Read more at greatday.com/motivate/140623.html#cEXB2CH5CXQrGGqI.99

Urging you forwardYour purpose won’t scream at you all the time. Though if it did, you’d be continually smothered in delightfully good fortune.
Purpose does whisper in every little thing, in each feeling, experience, preference, desire and joy. It is not loud yet it persistently calls, and you’re smart to listen.
Climb the challenging trail unfolding from that purpose of yours. You’ll accumulate joyous new fulfillment not only at the summit, but also all along the way.
How you feel about life says much more about you than it does about life. Pay attention to those feelings, learn what drives them, and choose to follow the unshakable, underlying yearning from which they spring.
Purpose pulls you through the struggle, then is deepened and enriched by that same struggle. When you know you must act no matter what, it is purpose urging you forward.
Find it, feel it, and allow that purpose to inform and energize all you do. Let it propel you to the rich and fulfilling life that is yours to live.— Ralph Marston Read more at greatday.com/motivate/140624.html#IJozY7DG022SkizI.99
