Every great work of art has two faces, one toward its own time and one toward the future, toward eternity.

Life goes right

Occasionally, things go wrong. Yet an overwhelming profusion of things go right, each and every moment.

Every leaf on every tree bears witness to the fact that life goes right, over and over again. Every cell in your body, precisely situated, enables you to do all you do.

You’re able to notice the disorder only because the underlying order is so ubiquitous. What makes a problem a problem is because it is so rare.

When the problems do come, gain great power over them by putting them in perspective. Draw upon the vast accumulation of goodness in your life.

When things go wrong, open yourself to the power of all that continues to go right. Boost your confidence, raise your expectations, engage your energy, and push forward.

You’ve persisted through every difficulty you’ve ever encountered. Much more often than not, life goes right, and there’s a way through this difficulty too.

— Ralph Marston
