Don't go around saying the world owes you a living; the world owes you nothing; it was here first.

Work with what you have

You can’t make everything perfect. No one else can make your life perfect.

But you can make the choice to live well despite the imperfections. Whatever your resources, whatever your shortcomings, many good situations and outcomes are possible.

Your world is as it is at this moment. Identify your opportunities and work with them.

No circumstance is one hundred percent negative or one hundred percent positive. There exist plenty of possibilities for improvement.

You’ll gain nothing by wishing the past had delivered you into a better situation. Instead, fully utilize the present by working to transport yourself into a future of your choosing.

Work with what you have and you’ll cause what you have to get better. Always, you can work with what you have, and that’s your best path to whatever outcome you desire.

— Ralph Marston
