Be real

by Ralph Marston

Do you want to chase the latest empty trend and be consumed by the outrage of the moment? Or would you rather lead a life of intention, purpose, and fulfillment?

The shiny, noisy things will continually need to be replaced with more shiny, noisy things. The drama offers little more than exhaustion.

Enough is enough. Let go and truly live the wonder and beauty of your life.

Could it be that the most valuable upgrade is to escape the need to upgrade? Is your quest to know everything ruining your ability to know anything?

Joy is found in quality, not quantity. If you don’t give effort and commitment, you don’t receive any meaningful benefit.

What pursuits will challenge you to draw deeply from the best within you? Go there, do that, be real.
