Many of life's failures are people who did not realize how close they were to success when they gave up.

If you can see it, it’s there

Whatever you can visualize, you can become. Anything you consider to be possible for yourself, is possible with enough focus, commitment and action.

Your imagination belongs to you. Don’t waste it on worry and regret. Use it to build and create. Imagine great things for yourself.

Look for possibilities. Look for opportunities. Look for problems, because in each of them you’ll usually find a “pre-fabricated” opportunity.

A whole world is on your doorstep this morning. A world of opportunity, a world of learning and achievement, a world of rich experience. It’s all there, ready and waiting for you to see it, and to take action.

Vividly imagine what you want to have, where you want to be, what you want to do. See it, touch it, hear it, experience it in your mind as if it were real. Then work your way back to where you are now, taking note of all the steps along the way. Those are the actions you need to take in order to reach your goal.

Take those steps, day after day, always with the goal in mind. Stick with it and you will soon reach your goal.

— Ralph Marston
