Any activity becomes creative when the doer cares about doing it right, or better.

Everything is an opportunity

Whatever happens, you can make the best of it. Whether others might judge it to be good, or bad, inspiring, or debilitating, you can move positively ahead because of it.

Events and circumstances matter, but not nearly as much as what you do with them. When you so choose, everything is an opportunity.

You don’t have to wait for life to deliver inspiration. You can be the inspiration, right now, right here, any time, any place.

Instead of responding to a disagreement as a conflict, you can respond to it as an opportunity for understanding. Instead of responding to a setback as a tragedy, you can respond to it as an opportunity for massive progress.

Yes, you can, because you are able to focus your attention in whatever direction you choose. You’ve done it all your life.

Your attention is your choice and ultimately, your attention is what matters. Choose wisely, deliberately, and choose a great, fulfilling life.

— Ralph Marston
