The old begin to complain of the conduct of the young when they themselves are no longer able to set a bad example.

Bring to it

Don’t settle for an attitude that merely reflects what has already happened. Choose your attitude based on what you want to happen.

Expect the best from yourself and then act according to your expectations. Focus your awareness and energy on all you can do to fulfill those expectations.

You have no way of knowing or controlling everything this day will bring to you. Yet you can very intentionally and specifically control what you bring to it.

Bring a strong sense of purpose, buttressed with gratitude for all that’s good and meaningful in your life. Bring curiosity and enthusiasm about all that’s possible and all you can achieve with those possibilities.

Bring a willingness to persist in taking action, no matter what challenges or distractions you may encounter. Bring also your patience, understanding, kindness, along with the unique sense of joy and wonder that lives within you.

Bring to this day, to this life, your best. Position yourself to create value and fulfillment from whatever may unfold.

— Ralph Marston
