Good advice

Many times you tell yourself what you must do, and then leave it at that. But what if you were to actually follow through on your own good advice?

There are reasons why you’re telling yourself these things. You’re well positioned to know what’s best for you and what isn’t.

So don’t be satisfied with just knowing what must be done. Give yourself the benefit of actually doing it.

Sure, it’s easier to merely scold yourself and make promises to yourself. Yet you have what it takes to make good on those promises.

You deserve the full benefit of your own perceptions. You deserve to act on those perceptions.

What have you been telling yourself you ought to do? Today is your opportunity to make it happen.

— Ralph Marston
