Countervailing goodness

Don’t let it get you down. Let it get you motivated.

You cannot control much of what happens. However, you can control all of what you do with it.

You decide where to focus your attention. You decide how and in what direction to apply your efforts.

If anything is causing you to feel discouraged it’s because that’s the response you’ve allowed. Your great power is in being able to respond in a more positive and life-enhancing way.

Many unfair and unfortunate events occur all the time. Rather than adding to the negativity, make it your business to create and promote countervailing goodness.

There’s always room and there’s always the option for a more positive perspective, for more positive action. Step up to that opportunity, and deliver it.

— Ralph Marston
