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

The only time

The only time you can escape regret is before you create it. What can you do today to prevent regret from descending on you tomorrow?

The only time you can act is now. How will you live this moment you have, to honor and fulfill its best possibilities?

Everything you’ve ever experienced has led you to where you are right now. This is your time to utilize all you know, all you feel, all you are, in giving birth to new goodness.

Don’t get lulled into complacency by imagining how much time you have. Don’t let yourself become fearful of how little time you have.

Remind yourself that this is the time you have, here to be lived, to be filled with effort, meaning, love, joy. Feel your courage as it grows to meet your highest expectations, as it pushes you into action.

While now continues to unfold, fill it generously with your positive action. Now is your time, and it is everything you choose to make it.

— Ralph Marston
