Belief consists in accepting the affirmations of the soul; Unbelief, in denying them.

Remember to live your life today

Today is a beautiful day to be alive, to be the person you are. A beautiful day, simply, to be.

Don’t waste energy trying to possess or control. Don’t let yourself be burdened by things that have happened in the past. Don’t worry about being “right", or about impressing anyone.

Focus instead on creating things that have never before existed. On adding value to the lives of others. On finding ways to express the unique person that you are. Feel good by simply deciding to, rather than by abusing yourself or others. Look at everything that happens as an opportunity for growth.

Accept and be thankful for the abundance that is yours. Dust off your dreams and find a way to follow them. Life is precious and beautiful. Every breath you take is an opportunity to live life to the fullest.

— Ralph Marston
