We must learn to reawaken and keep ourselves awake, not by mechanical aid, but by an infinite expectation of the dawn.

Go forward

The mistakes and disappointments are now history. Pick yourself up and get going again.

You’ve made some gains and suffered some losses. You’ve experienced false starts and successfully followed through on brilliant decisions.

Take stock of where you are, identify your most valuable options. Then go ahead, give your focus and best efforts to moving forward.

You’ve learned much from the victories and even more from the failures. You’re better prepared than ever before to act with purpose and effectiveness.

Deploy that capability wisely, generously, with kindness, authenticity and a commitment to truth. There’s much great work to do, and this is your opportunity to do it.

At this point, whatever has happened before can only give you strength. Feel that strength now, go forward and achieve great things with it.

— Ralph Marston
