EVERYWHERE AND NOWHERE

Everywhere and Nowhere

Nowhere is not a bad place.

It’s just the place you come to
when you no longer have “somewhere else” to go.

It’s just the place you come to
when you stop avoiding this moment
and realize that the journey
doesn’t have to do with anyone but you.

You are the subject: your thoughts,
your feelings, your words, and your actions.

Turn your attention here
and you stop running around like Don Quixote
fighting windmills.

You can be where you are
and address the origin of joy and suffering
inside yourself.

Enlightenment doesn’t involve
getting something you do not have.

It involves relinquishing a barrier you have placed
between yourself and truth.

It is not so much a finding of truth,
but a giving up of illusion.

MIRRORS

Mirrors

When two people are judging or blaming
you don't have communication; you have attack.

When you try to fix other people or they try to fix you,
you are probably both projecting.

Each of you will be mirroring to the other
a part of him or herself s/he does not want to look at.

GET YOUR HUSTLE ON

Get your hustle on! Do what you were meant to do! Step up your game like never before. Snap out of it! There is more in you, but you have to reach for it and dig deeper to take it to the next level. Stretch your imagination, tap into your creativity and expand your best thinking.

Create collaborative achievement driven GREATNESS

partnerships with people who will compliment your strengths and strengthen your weaknesses. Don't ease up now. Keep the pressure on and work harder to realize your next success story. You have within you!!

LETTING GO

Letting Go

When something in your life is not working,
you try to fix it. Then, if that doesn't work,
you may pretend for a while that it's fixed
even though you know it isn't.

Finally, you realize that your heart
just isn't in the job or the relationship.
That's when you are ready to let go of it.

Letting go is an act of substantial courage.
There is always some degree of pain
in the release of someone or something
that once brought you joy and happiness.

You will have to be patient and mourn the loss.
But when your mourning is over,
you will see things differently.

As the old dies, the new is born.
The phoenix rises from the ashes of destruction.
If you stay centered in your life
while the fire burns around you,
opportunities you never could have dreamed of
will begin to reveal themselves.

BELIEVE IN YOUR ABILITY TO FIGURE THINGS OUT

LET CHALLENGES FIRE YOU UP

See the challenges in your life as fuel to fire you up. You are bigger than any of the problems that you face. Look around, and you will find opportunities silently waiting for you to recognize them. Become unstoppable and determined to reach your goals.

Do not let anyone convince you that you can not achieve your dream. They do not know you like that! They have no idea of who you really are. Do not waste time trying to convince them. Keep working your plan and handle your business. Actions speak louder than words. Remember...you have GREATNESS within you!

DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT

Do Something About It

Today you can decide you will. Today you can do what you decide.

Today you do not have to beg or wish or wait for permission. Today you can do what must be done, what you would love to get done.

Your dreams have teased you long enough. Today you can act to make them real.

You’ve avoided your best possibilities all too often. With your efforts today you’re able to push them into reality.

Transform the disappointments of the past into determination. Take the energy from every feeling and point it all in a positive direction.

One moment ends, another begins, and you can make use of every one. Ask yourself what you love and treasure and today, do something about it.

— Ralph Marston

AWAY FROM DOUBT

Away from doubt

From the very first effort, action begins to replace doubt and fear with courage and confidence. You move from worried and dubious to enthusiastic and effective.

The longer you keep going, the stronger your momentum becomes. Soon you’ll realize you’ve left your doubts far behind.

As overwhelming as doubts may feel, they soon wither under the heat of focused action. As shaky as your confidence seems at the start, it quickly grows stronger and begins to feed upon itself.

It’s understandable you’d be nervous about taking the first step. Yet when you bring yourself to do it anyway, that’s a game changer.

Even a small action will start the momentum. From it you gain the courage, the energy, the passion to keep going.

Go ahead, and take one small yet meaningful action to begin moving away from doubt. Keep going, feel the expanding power of your own intention, and your doubts will soon be left behind.


— Ralph Marston

IT'S NEVER TOO LATE

WHAT ABOUT THE UNTOLD STORY INSIDE YOU?

“There is no greater agony than bearing an untold story inside you.”
