Many of life's failures are people who did not realize how close they were to success when they gave up.

What you carry inside

Your demeanor at any given moment does not just affect the way you feel inside. It plays a major role in how you interact with everything else.

Your love gives you greater access to what you love. Enjoyment forges deep connections to what you enjoy.

When you’re brimming with enthusiasm it illuminates possibilities that otherwise would not be visible. If you’re pushed forward by curiosity you’re able to discover and investigate all sorts of valuable connections.

Feeling and expressing gratitude opens your access to an ever-expanding supply of abundance. Kindness and compassion strengthen your understanding and ability to bond with those around you.

Patience and perseverance enable you to transform fleeting time into enduring treasure. Optimism and resilience will prompt you to move quickly past the setbacks you encounter.

Choose wisely what you carry through each day on the inside. It makes a big difference in the way your life unfolds on the outside.

— Ralph Marston
