Every great work of art has two faces, one toward its own time and one toward the future, toward eternity.

Take the time

Take the time to put something back where it belongs, and you’ll easily be able to find it next time you need it. Take the time to learn, and you’ll make yourself more effective.

Take the time to listen, and you’ll much more clearly understand. Take the time to think before you act, and your actions will take you where you want to go with no regrets.

Take the time to say thank you and to appreciate the good things you have, and abundance will grow in your life. Take the time to truly enjoy yourself, and you’ll inject positive energy into all you do.

Take the time to offer a word of encouragement, and your world will be a brighter place. Take the time to give a helping hand to someone in need, and your own troubles will suddenly shrink away.

Take the time to work through a challenge, and you’ll discover a whole new level of positive opportunities. Take the time to be curious and aware of the world around you, and you’ll see magnificent possibilities in every direction.

Take the time to love, to smile, to wonder, to play, and to find out who you really are. Take the time to fully live in each moment as it comes along, and life will be rich indeed.

— Ralph Marston
