Build new goodness

Some things you can control and influence, and other things you can’t. Yet you can always choose how to feel, what to think, and how to respond.

Fighting against what has already taken place, is useless. Put your energy, your focus, your unique creative brilliance into improving what comes next.

At times the ride will be slow and bumpy, and at other times it becomes smooth and easy. In all cases, in every moment, there is something beneficial you can do.

Fulfillment arises not from what life delivers to you, but from the actions you take to make life good. You always have the opportunity to care, to love, to make a difference.

Each moment arrives with a unique, never-before-tasted flavor. Instead of judging it or running from it, embrace it and build new goodness within it.

Build new goodness from the ups, the downs, the frustrations and joys. Build new goodness from it all.

— Ralph Marston
