Going for you

Stop and think of all the good things you have going for you today. You’re alive, intelligent, effective, filled with energy and able to accomplish those things you set your mind upon.

Sure there are challenges, and of course there are circumstances that could be improved. Yet the positive possibilities far outweigh the negative factors.

You are in a position, this very day, to change the world. By this time tomorrow, something can be better, more valuable, less troublesome than it is right now, all because of you.

Something can be improved because you have the ability to improve it. You can think, you can act, you can evaluate, make corrections, and persist until you get it right.

Yes, some things are beyond your control. That’s all the more reason for you to make the very best of those things you can influence and improve.

Take a moment to truly realize all the good things you have going for you this very day. Then select one of your very best possibilities, and make it real.

— Ralph Marston
