You're not obligated to win. You're obligated to keep trying to do the best you can every day.

Let determination kick in

Don’t let yourself talk yourself out of your own most effective actions. Go ahead and do your best at what you know you can do.

You’re able to construct compelling excuses, but what real value do those excuses have? Choose instead the real and lasting value of action.

Remind yourself every moment is an opportunity that will never come again. Do what you must do to make use of that opportunity rather than letting it go to waste.

Tomorrow you can be thankful for the choices you make today. And you know from experience that thankful is a whole lot better than regretful.

Plenty of factors are working against you. Yet you can more than overcome them with your own sense of purpose and determination.

Let that determination kick in now. Taste the inspiration, feel the enthusiasm, get going and get your good work done.

— Ralph Marston
