Simple miracle

It’s amazing how much you can accomplish when you apply yourself with sincere purpose. It’s shocking how empty life can become when you don’t.

Fulfillment is not a matter of merely getting what you want. Fulfillment comes from giving what you can, to your own life, to the lives of others.

Pleasure feels good while you’re experiencing it. Then the good feeling quickly fades.

Making a difference also can be rewarding while you’re doing it, yet that is only the beginning. For the rewards of contributing positively to the world will endure far beyond the moment, far beyond you.

There’s a simple miracle you can perform today, and every day. With your intention, with your discipline, with your actions, you can transform potential value into existing value.

It’s a formula for success that’s already created enormous goodness in your life and in your world. Today you have the opportunity to keep that good trend going.

— Ralph Marston
