Determination

Nothing can keep you down for long when you’re determined to succeed. Look past the frustrations of the moment and you’ll see that they’re just stepping stones on your path to ultimate fulfillment.

When something is blocking your path, just go around it, and keep on moving. Pausing to dwell on the unfairness of it all, will only serve to waste your time and effort. Keep moving in the direction you’ve set for yourself.

Each moment is a triumph when you decide to make it so. Whether something can help you or hurt you is totally up to you. Your experiences are what you choose to make them. The power of your own determination can cause anything to work in your favor.

Go for it! You can do it when you decide to do it. Use your determination to make life happen for you.

— Ralph Marston
