The object of a new year is not that we should have a new year. It is that we should have a new soul.

The power to care

You have powerful tools, resources, skills at your disposal. Remind yourself, challenge yourself to use them for good, meaningful, life-affirming and life-improving purposes.

You have life, time, awareness, and good sense. Do yourself and all the world a big favor, and make great use of all you have.

The world is often distracting and discouraging, and will tempt you to stray from what really matters. Yet you can rise above that temptation, and make a substantive difference in every day.

You have the power to care. You have the ability to follow through on that care, to support, to encourage, to build and achieve.

Life arises each morning and takes on the distinct characteristics of the people who are living it that day. Your attitude and your actions make life what it is, and within that truth is magnificent opportunity.

Exercise fully your power to care, to work for the goodness you know is possible. Give your care, your effort, your love, and push life in its best direction.

— Ralph Marston
