Character builds slowly, but it can be torn down within incredible swiftness.

Winning game

by Ralph Marston

Take note of the circumstances, but don’t fight against them. Put your energy into achieving your intentions.

Rather than complaining about certain disagreeable aspects of reality, find those aspects you can work with. Then get busy moving forward.

Focus your thoughts on the positive possibilities. Invest your efforts in the good you can do.

Whether it’s a sunny day or a rainy one, each day brings time you can utilize. Adapt and adjust to the situation of the moment, and then make it count.

Accept that there are factors you can’t change and things you can’t do. That will free you to concentrate on what you can achieve and improve upon.

There’s no sense in fighting a useless battle. Choose instead to play a winning game.
