There is good in everything, if only we look for it.

What do you expect?

When you expect good things to happen you’ll find the good in whatever happens. Expect to have a productive day and you’ll do whatever it takes to make the day productive.

Most circumstances are inherently neither good nor bad. They are mostly what you make of them. When you’re determined to achieve, the circumstances will work in your favor because you’ll find a way to make them work in your favor.

Are you waiting for a reason to be positive? Here’s a reason. Be positive, and expect great things for yourself, because it will bring richness and fulfillment to your life. When the circumstances seem to be working against you, that’s even more reason to be positive, because it will enable you to turn those circumstances in your favor.

You’ll get what you truly expect. So why would you ever want to expect anything less that the very best?

— Ralph Marston
