I usually write in retrospect, but today I found inspiration in an email sent by my Mother. You know, those forwards that we send to our entire address book or, if you're like me, you send to a select few who are an inspiration to you. Below is what I found in the email:
Anger is not worth the price you pay for it. Transform it, instead, into positive resolve.
Despair will only keep you stuck where you are. Choose to exchange it for a good dose of inspiration.
Arrogance will cut you off from the world. Cast it away and replace it with generosity and enthusiasm.
Impatience only brings you mistakes and frustration. Let it go, and let peaceful purpose take its place.
For every burden of your own creation, there is an alternative that will lift you up. When you feel yourself being dragged down by the attitude you have chosen, let that be a reminder to choose a more positive approach.
You are in control of the way you look at life. And the way you look at life surely and inevitably determines the way your life will be.
~ Ralph Marston
I believe that these words are great in Truth, but they are even greater still in Purpose. Most would think that Ralph Marston was a great orator of the 19th century or a world renown Spiritual guru with a reputation that supercedes his carnal ability. He's simply a man in his mid fifties living in Austin Texas as a Husband, Father, Son dedicated to personal development and the creator of The Daily Motivator.
Over 14 years ago, he began updating one of his websites with his messages of motivation, encouragement and inspiration. After garnering a significant following and publishing two collections of his messages, The Daily Motivator was born. From there, his work took on a life of its own affording him financial, personal and Spiritual freedom that only derives from taking a risk to do what you do best. To be you...
What do you do best? When are you at your best? Where do you find your best? How can you make your best, better still ?
I believe in Ralph Marston's story we learn that the only thing that we shall supercede are.....our Limitations....
