Actively making life better

Today you can be the bright point in someone’s day, merely by being kind and considerate. Think about what a powerful and fortunate position that is to be in.

You can embark on a journey of discovery and wonder without ever venturing outside your neighborhood. You can learn a hundred new things today, tomorrow, every day, and become richer for it.

You have the opportunity to grow stronger in body, mind, and spirit. You possess the ability to connect with all sorts of people who can add great treasure to your experience of life.

Some days you might feel like there’s nothing you can do. On those days that feeling is, for whatever reason, sorely mistaken.

For there is always much good you can do. And it’s essential to keep that in mind.

Sure, things haven’t gone your way, life is difficult and even painful, yet you still have many good options. Choose one, or several, and benefit from the experience of actively making life better.

— Ralph Marston
