Valuable beyond calculation

Your life is much too valuable to throw away any of it on negativity. Your time is too precious to fill it with self-pity or anger or resentment.

Would you purposely sit around and set hundred dollar bills on fire? Of course not. So don’t make the mistake of needlessly burning through your life, which is vastly more valuable than money. Choose instead to live every day with joy, love and meaningful purpose.

There’s no law that says you have to react negatively to negative situations. Ultimately, the way you live is the way you choose to live.

So choose to live in harmony with your highest values. Instead of letting mere circumstances determine how you are, let the beauty and value of your life determine the way you act.

Your unique life is valuable beyond any calculation. Live like it is, and make it even more so.

— Ralph Marston
