Live the possibilities

Life is full of possibilities, so full that it’s insanely ridiculous. Yet those possibilities are meaningless unless you do something with them.

Don’t be content to merely gather, collect and store possibilities. Take the best ones and bring them to life.

If you attempt to consider all the possibilities, you’ll be completely overwhelmed. Instead, focus in each moment on just one good possibility, and make it happen.

Every person, every place, every situation, every good idea has potential. The important thing, though, is not potential, but getting results.

Take a few of those great possibilities and turn them into great results. It’s fun, it’s rewarding, and it can be habit forming, in a good way.

As great and numerous as the possibilities may be, ultimately they’re not what really matter. Live those possibilities, and you’ll turn them into pure gold.

— Ralph Marston
