Ralph Marston Quotes


"Make it a habit to tell people thank you. To express your appreciation, sincerely and without the expectation of anything in return. Truly appreciate those around you, and you'll soon find many others around you. Truly appreciate life, and you'll find that you have more of it." ~Ralph Marston

Other Quotes

"Be truly thankful for what has brought you here, whatever it may have been. Then let the past go and let yourself soar into a magnificent, fulfilling future." ~Ralph Marston

"Beauty talks in the language of the heart. The magnificence of a sunset, or of a violin concerto, cannot be adequately conveyed in words. Just as food nourishes our body, beauty nourishes our spirit. It inspires and challenges us to do great things. But you don’t need to be rich or powerful to enjoy the sublime pleasure of beauty. The only thing you need is the willingness to appreciate the beauty that is already around you - in nature, in other people, in works of art, architecture, music and literature. In a world where creativity and innovation are essential in every aspect of life, beauty is a powerful fuel for successful living." ~Ralph Marston

"Don’t allow the past to imprison you or discourage you. Instead, let the opportunities of the present inspire you to take solid, effective action." ~Ralph Marston

"Enjoyment is not something we take. It is something we give. Enjoyment is not a function of our circumstances. Enjoyment is a choice we can make, regardless of the circumstances. When we choose to enjoy where we are, it opens our eyes to the positive possibilities. When we decide to enjoy what we’re doing, our effectiveness skyrockets. Enjoy your day, and you add joy not only to your own life but also to all of life around you. Enjoy who you are, and from who you are will flow great and meaningful value. Give the gift of your own genuine enjoyment. Demonstrate your gratitude and immense respect for life by truly enjoying each precious moment." ~Ralph Marston

"Every positive thing in your life represents a single unique blessing. Every negative thing in your life has the opportunity to become a double blessing. For when you turn a negative into a positive, you gain twice. You are no longer burdened with the negative situation, and in addition to that you are strengthened by a new positive force." ~Ralph Marston.

"EXCELLENCE is not a skill. It is an ATTITUDE." ~Ralph Marston

"Happiness is a choice, not a result. Nothing will make you happy until you choose to be happy. No person will make you happy unless you decide to be happy. Your happiness will not come to you. It can only come from you." ~Ralph Marston
["Let go of your thoughts about what could be, or should be, or might have been. Be here now, fully and lovingly. Give your attention to the miracle of what is. See the great value and beauty that is right in front of you, here and now.

Let your thoughts arise and then let them go. There’s no need to wander away from the wholeness of this moment. Don’t hurry ahead to whatever is next. Be here now, and give all the power of your awareness to living the wonder and value of what is.

What you truly desire is not out there somewhere, and is not waiting for someday to appear to you. It is yours to manifest and enjoy in this moment. There is great power and ability in your presence. Be here now, and live the treasure that is already yours in this very moment." ~Ralph Marston]
"Love is never easy, yet it is easily the most powerful and positively enduring choice. Forgive others, forgive yourself, forgive the past, and love your way forward." ~Ralph Marston

"There are plenty of difficult obstacles in your path. Don't allow yourself to become one of them." ~Ralph Marston

"There is a thought in your mind right now. The longer you hold on to it, the more you dwell upon it, the more life you give to that thought. Give it enough life, and it will become real. So make sure the thought is indeed a great one" ~Ralph Marston

"What if you gave someone a gift, and they neglected to thank you for it would you be likely to give them another? Life is the same way. In order to attract more of the blessings that life has to offer, you must truly appreciate what you already have." ~Ralph Marston

"What you do today can improve all your tomorrows." ~Ralph Marston

"When was the last time you spent a quiet moment just doing nothing - just sitting and looking at the sea, or watching the wind blowing the tree limbs, or waves rippling on a pond, a flickering candle or children playing in the park?" ~Ralph Marston

"Your goals, minus your doubts, equal your reality." ~Ralph Marston

"Your triumphs of the past are now little more than pleasant memories. Reach inside, touch your most compelling purpose, and bring your best possibilities to life." ~Ralph Marston

"You can transform your world in an instant by the way you choose to see it. You can change problems into opportunities, anxiety into enthusiasm, and despair into determination." ~Ralph Marston

"Your goals, minus your doubts, equal your reality." ~Ralph Marston on Reality

"Spread Your Kindness"
"Live as though every positive thing you do will start a chain reaction, the culmination of which is so beneficial you cannot even imagine. Live as though even the smallest kindness, passed along from one person to another, can change the world for the better.

Live as though every good thing you do is multiplied many times over before surely and eventually returning to you. For that is indeed the way life can work.

You have a far greater influence than it may seem over people and events, even those far removed from you. Because the way you act toward others gets passed along in ever-increasing numbers.

Think about how you do it yourself. If someone has been kind and considerate to you, you're far more likely to act with kindness toward others, and many of them will do the same.

If in one hour you were to spread kindness to just three people, and each of them did the same, and the process continued to repeat itself, the results would be astounding. It would take less than 24 hours for that kindness to be spread to every person in the world.

Spread your kindness and consideration freely and respectfully to others. And the positive benefits will go farther than you can possibly imagine." ~Ralph Marston
