It's a funny thing about life; if you refuse to accept anything but the best, you very often get it.

Realm of reality

Reality is often not easy to accept. But it is ultimately easier for you, and better for you, to accept reality than to deny it.

Because reality always wins. You also can win within the confines and conditions of reality, but you cannot win apart from it.

Reality is the domain where you can get good things done. Reality does have its challenges, and by pushing through those challenges you create new value.

Acknowledge the difference between how you wish the world could be and how it actually is. By doing so, you can spot opportunities for moving toward desirable outcomes.

Look clearly, honestly, courageously at what is. Let all you see inform you and inspire you as you work toward your ideals for what can be.

Give accuracy to your perceptions and effectiveness to your actions. Keep yourself firmly anchored in the realm of reality.

— Ralph Marston
