Where people fail is that they wish to elect a state and remain in it. This is a kind of death.

Where you need to be

You are, this moment, where you need to be. Take the opportunity to live it with passion and purpose.

There is no reason to keep pushing the best of life out of your reach, saving it for another time, another place, or another set of circumstances. Now is the time, this is the place to fill with goodness and richness, with beauty and love.

There is no need to wait or to hope for things to get better. For you can be your very best no matter what else may be happening around you.

There is nothing to be gained by wishing that the past had been different. Instead, put your energy into living and fulfilling the best of the countless possibilities that are now in front of you.

The value, the goodness, the love and effort you give to this moment will come back to you many times over. Now is the time to invest yourself in positive, productive thoughts and actions.

Stop making excuses and start being the best you can imagine. Stop waiting and start to truly and fully live.

— Ralph Marston
