Ideas are like rabbits. You get a couple and learn how to handle them, and pretty soon you have a dozen.

To be alive

Give for the sake of giving. Love for the sake of love.

Live for the sake of living. Learn just because you can.

Don’t fill the future with ambiguous motives or imagined fears. Fill the moment you’re in with the extraordinary richness of ordinary life.

This day is a gift that you’ve never had before. Jump in and explore the exquisite treasure that is right now at your feet.

Life’s beauty appears at exactly the place where you choose to see it. Choose to see the beauty and value of whatever situation you find yourself experiencing.

Listen to the part of you that resonates with life’s true and never ending goodness. Experience again and again, in a new way each time, what it means to be alive.

— Ralph Marston
