How good life can be

Do you remember the times when life has seemed almost magical? Do you remember those days when you felt as if you were floating on air?

Stop for a moment and fill yourself with those feelings of how very good, how very special life can be. Though the events may be distant in space and time, the positive feelings they bring can always be with you.

Remember often how good life can be. For the more you remember, the more life you give to your best possibilities.

If you focus your attention on the worries, anxieties, conflicts and shortcomings, those are the things that will grow. Focus instead on how good life can be, and with every moment you’ll be making it better.

Look up, rather than down, and you’ll see an infinitely bigger, more positive horizon. Celebrate life’s real and substantial goodness, and that goodness will come to dominate your reality.

Take a moment, early and often, to remember how very good life can be. And make the goodness grow ever stronger.

— Ralph Marston
