The will to win is not nearly as important as the will to prepare to win.

Imperfect surroundings

The current situation feels overwhelming because you are so fully immersed in it. Yet you are much more, life and its possibilities are far greater, than the circumstances of the moment.

Step back a bit with the intention of raising and widening your perspective. Connect with your confidence, your resourcefulness, and your enthusiasm for moving forward.

Claim the energy that exists within you and around you. Decide to utilize that energy for empowerment and improvement.

The situation is what it is, and you are capable of successfully handling it. You are also capable of transcending the disappointments and limitations of the moment.

Elevate your focus until it is saturated with compelling purpose. Follow that focus and put effort behind it as you work to make advances and improvements.

In your imperfect surroundings there’s a golden opportunity. Muster the strength and the will to see it, and make good use of it now.

— Ralph Marston
