The highest reward for a person's toil is not what they get for it but what they become by it.

Modest improvements

An improvement in one area of your life is not limited to that one area. It’s likely to benefit many other parts of your world.

No matter where you create value, it casts its favorable light into other places. Goodness travels quickly through life’s far-reaching interconnections.

It’s easy to see that your positive thoughts and actions often have immediate and direct results. They also have indirect results that can continue far beyond what’s obvious, beyond the moment, beyond the situation, beyond you.

With one single, limited success you initiate a positive momentum. It inspires you and others to build on that momentum.

The more you experience the rewards of your own actions, the more eager you’ll be to make a difference in other ways. You can ride that momentum through life’s countless connections to the big and fulfilling outcomes you desire.

What modest improvements can you make in the next ten minutes, or in the next few days? Create a little value in one place, and see how quickly it spreads.

— Ralph Marston
