It is not love of self but hatred of self which is at the root of the troubles that afflict our world.

Other direction

What can you do when someone violates your trust? Use it as an incentive to lift your own standards even higher than they already are.

How do you react when life disappoints you? Make up for the disappointment by raising your expectations and boosting your enthusiasm for moving forward.

When your world turns negative, the last thing you want to do is add to that negativity. Instead, go firmly in the other direction.

If you find yourself shocked by how bad the situation is, absorb the energy of that shock. Let that energy fuel your inspiration and your action.

Get yourself in the habit of beneficial transformation. When you encounter something bad, respond by doing something good.

You always have a choice, and this is one of the best you’ll ever make. Choose to always let the worst bring out your best.

— Ralph Marston
