Allow enjoyment

Find something to enjoy and to sincerely value about whatever you are doing. And you will add power and effectiveness to your efforts.

Realize that anything is enjoyable to you solely because you have decided for it to be enjoyable. It’s a decision that can create much value.

Instead of fighting against your own actions, give energy to them. Instead of making yourself miserable, allow yourself to enjoy.

It’s great when you can make positive plans and enjoy following through on them. Yet even when things don’t turn out as planned, you can find something to value and enjoy.

Learn to find enjoyment in life’s surprises, and those surprises can yield great treasure. Choose to enjoy those times when you get knocked off track, and you’ll discover the quickest way to get back on track.

You are at your best when truly enjoying life. So allow enjoyment to bring out your best in every situation.

— Ralph Marston
