The person you’ve become

by Ralph Marston

You’ve made many good decisions and you’ve made a few bad choices. All that experience has given you an increasingly clear picture of who you are and what’s important to you.

With gratitude for what you’ve already been through, look ahead to what’s next. Decide how to best utilize the strengths of the person you’ve become, and step confidently forward.

Transform the value of your past experience into new richness as life continues to unfold. Build upon the strength you’ve worked for so long to gain.

You’ve developed a clear sense of what motivates you, inspires you, of what disappoints you and excites you. You’ve zeroed in on the values that sustain you and the purpose that drives you.

Pause for a moment and consider it all. Then look at the reality that surrounds you, and see the powerful opportunities that are uniquely yours.

You’ve come a long way, and it’s all been for a very good reason. For right here, right now, there’s all manner of great new goodness ready to arise from the person you’ve become.
