You can clutch the past so tightly to your chest that it leaves your arms too full to embrace the present.

Rise to the occasion

Rise to the occasion of your challenges. Rise to the occasion of your opportunities.

Face the reality of the situation you’re in, with grace, with purpose, with courage. Create value, fulfillment, and worthwhile experience as the moments pass.

Take an active role and make a positive difference in the unfolding of life. There’s good you can do today, right here, right now.

Make the effort, go to the trouble, learn from what works well and what doesn’t. Speak the truth, endeavor to better understand, and offer kindness whenever you can.

Choose today what you’ll continue tomorrow to be thankful for choosing. Do what adds enduring richness, not merely what creates momentary satisfaction.

Respect and value the miracle that is your life, that is all of life. Rise to the occasion, and give to it your best.

— Ralph Marston
