Too bad that all the people who really know how to run the country are busy driving taxi cabs and cutting hair.

Ready and willing

In every experience of disillusionment is the small seed of hope. In every disappointment is the initial stirring of determination.

That small tinge of hope, which makes the disillusionment possible, will grow if you let it. From utter despair can come brilliant success.

What sets you back also sets the stage for you to move forward. What appears completely hopeless gives you more reason than ever to hope.

The darkness gives your light a space in which it can be seen, and made use of, and appreciated, and truly valued. The challenges give you fertile territory in which to make a positive difference and a valuable contribution.

No matter what is in your past, you now have the opportunity to create the future of your choice. Everything depends on which way you decide to look, and in which direction you make the commitment to move.

This very moment can be the greatest opportunity you’ve ever known. When you are ready and willing, the possibilities are yours to follow.

— Ralph Marston
