Unwavering encouragement

Words give you a prodding form of encouragement, which is good. Action provides a deeper, visceral kind of encouragement, even better.

Engage your abilities. And you’ll suddenly feel better about yourself, about the world, about life.

Demonstrate to yourself how and why you’re able to make an impact. Go through the experience of putting a portion of your potential into action.

Confidence does not come from what you’re able to convince yourself about yourself. Genuine, enduring confidence is the result of witnessing, again and again, the good things you can do.

Muster a little faith, and step intentionally forward toward a meaningful challenge. Observe yourself as you transform that challenge into achievement.

Offer yourself unwavering encouragement through the purposeful exercise of your capabilities. Get to know the good you can do by doing it, and you’re sure to do a whole lot more.

— Ralph Marston
