The less one has to do, the less time one finds to do it in.

See the goodness

Your bitterness is real, is justified, but it does you no good if it remains as bitterness. Welcome the energy it gives you, then point that energy in a positive, productive direction.

Your anger, resentment, and frustration all have their roots in the past. Learn from what they can teach you, and apply the lessons in ways that benefit the future.

Don’t fall into the trap of needing to prove how mistreated you were. See it as an opportunity to discover how resilient you can be.

Events often go in a negative direction, But you never have to use your own time and efforts to continue in that direction.

What you’re focused on is what you empower. Focus on a hopeful future, not on a difficult past.

From here, go forward, not backward, looking for what can help, not obsessing over what has hurt. See the goodness, live the goodness, and make more of it.

— Ralph Marston
