Highest hopes

Give yourself hope by doing something hopeful. Put the best part of yourself into action and immediately experience the improvement in your outlook.

Rather than defaulting to a tired, old, empty habit, call upon your creativity. Dwell on what you love, then seek to express that love through time, effort, and commitment.

Every day is filled with opportune moments. Be ready and willing to seize upon the next one that surely will soon arrive.

Immediately in front of you is the possibility of encountering genuine beauty, wonder, and awe. Be open to the possibility, be available to give yourself over to it.

Dreary expectations make for dreary experiences. Raise those expectations, inject hope and goodness into them.

How much time and work, commitment and persistence would you put forth if you knew it would all make a difference? It will, as you well know from looking back on your past, so act upon your highest hopes right now.

— Ralph Marston
