I believe that every right implies a responsibility; every opportunity, an obligation; every possession, a duty.

Good life

by Ralph Marston

Calm down and be real. Nobody really cares about what you’re so earnestly trying to prove.

Relax, smile, and be kind. Make a genuine connection with people, not to gain points but to give respect and consideration.

Let go of the fretting and worry. Deal effectively with the troubles that arise, but don’t borrow them from the future.

Allow yourself to stand in awe of the possibilities that surround you. Pick a few and go with them, but not so many that you become overwhelmed.

Think gratitude and express it out loud. Every time you appreciate life’s abundance, you open the door for even more.

Take the meaningful actions, follow the priorities that align with goodness. Step by step, moment by moment, create a good life for yourself and those around you.
