Getting more

Instead of wishing for what you don’t have, seek to expand and make the most of what you do have. When you focus on “getting more” you automatically presume that you don’t have enough. The resulting attitude of inadequacy can be extremely self defeating.

Rather than trying to get more, make an effort to be more of what you already are. You have everything you need to live the life you desire, if you will take the actions necessary to fulfill your possibilities.

Stop focusing on lack and limitation. The abundance you already have is worth more than anything you could ever acquire. All the gold in the world could not buy one day of life. And you have that treasure, that precious day, right now, ready and waiting to be harvested. Do what it takes to make the most of it, and you will never want for anything.

— Ralph Marston
