Within yourself

Out of chaos, order can be purposefully assembled and maintained. With sufficient effort, clarity and truth can be extracted from confusion, deception and ambiguity.

The potential for goodness always exists. To realize that potential requires work and commitment.

It’s easy to let life slide into disarray. But that doesn’t mean the disarray is inevitable.

What makes life good is recognition that it can be, and the discipline to bring about its best possibilities. Whatever goodness you experience is the goodness in which you actively participate.

Whether you see the world as dark and meaningless, or as beautiful and full of promise, you’re right. The direction in which your energy is focused makes all the difference in what that energy creates.

Whatever good you seek for all of life, allow it wholly and continually within yourself. Then you can do the work to expand it far and wide.

— Ralph Marston
