The best you have to offer

Your highest desires deserve to be more than just sentimental wishes. Put time, effort, and commitment behind them.

Go beyond just saying you want something to happen. Do the work to make it so.

Begin where you are, with what you have, as soon as possible. Prove to yourself the importance of your objective by refusing to put it off until later.

When it matters to you, bring it to life. Call upon your skills, knowledge, resourcefulness, discipline and sheer will.

Rather than waiting for someone else to take the initiative, lead the way. Go forward with decisive, effective actions that inspire others to join in and support the effort.

Give real world substance to what you care about. Your life, and the important things in it, are worth the best you have to offer.

— Ralph Marston
