Lock in the goodness

A new world arrived this morning. Walk out and discover what’s there.

Possibilities arise, linger for a while, then fade quickly away. Do the work and bring the best ones to life while they’re available.

Transform the massive potential value of this moment into enduring value that spawns even more. Lock in the goodness that exists by appreciating it, supporting it, and expanding on it.

Refuse to accept less from yourself than purposeful, disciplined behavior. Offer kindness not because it looks good but because it is good for everyone involved, especially you.

Gratefully take notice of patterns you may have previously ignored, denied, or been oblivious to. Recognize the opportunities embedded within them to do truly beneficial work.

A new world arrived this morning, and another is on the way. Make good use of each one as it comes.

— Ralph Marston
