When you have nothing important or interesting to say, don't let anyone persuade you to say it.

The special days

by Ralph Marston

The special days are made possible by the ordinary days. When everything is special, nothing is special.

Taking a vacation is a memorable occasion because of the day-to-day work done the rest of the year. A permanent vacation would not be a vacation at all.

All the routine tasks might feel tedious and unfulfilling. Yet in keeping up with them, you can set the stage for genuinely inspiring and fulfilling experiences.

You cannot fully appreciate being on the mountaintop unless you spend a lot of time in the valleys below. Life’s most extraordinary moments are always made possible by all the other moments.

Whether you’re bored to tears or thrilled to no end, you’re adding valuable substance to your life. The ups make the downs tolerable, and the downs are key to making the ups so enjoyable.

Appreciate where you are, where you’re going, where you’ll come back to, and where you’ll then go next. It’s all part of life, and that’s a beautiful thing.
