In this world it is not what we take up, but what we give up, that makes us rich.

Think the best

Doubt is a thought you can let go of. Confidence is a thought you can choose to hold and to expand upon.

If you think something is too difficult or out of reach, your thoughts do indeed put it out of reach. Alternately, when you think you’re capable and deserving, you’ll find a way to make it happen.

Your thoughts most certainly do control you. Yet, before your thoughts control you, you have the opportunity to select and control them.

Your perspective is built upon the thoughts you most consistently choose. The most powerful perspective comes from the most positive thoughts.

Just because life is full of problems does not mean you must choose to be full of negative thoughts. Focus your thoughts not on where you and others have stumbled, but on the most positive, desirable way forward.

You always have a choice of what to think, so choose consistently to think the best of life. That puts you well on the way to making it happen.

— Ralph Marston
