Cherish the opportunities When you’re interested, you’re effective. You find a way. When you’re invested, you get results. You know the details, and you figure out how to best make use of them. The value of opportunity is not in the mere concept of opportunity, not in simply calling it by name. Opportunity yields its value only when it is specific and embodied, when you jump in and do the work it demands. Scrutinize the territory at ground level, inch by inch. Get intimately involved in the challenges, the trade-offs, discovering what works and what doesn’t. An opportunity that’s handed to you isn’t going to do you any good. The opportunities that bring real richness are the ones you forge your way into and through. Cherish the opportunities enough to give them the discipline, persistence, fascination, and creativity they deserve. That’s what turns them into treasure. — Ralph Marston

You’ve got this Don’t get angry. Get to work. Don’t let frustration cause you to throw in the towel. Plow your energy into efforts that have proven to make a difference, and expand on them. When time is running out and problems are piling up, take a calm and confident breath. You’ve got this, you’re capable, and now is when you can put all your skills to good use. It’s natural to feel overwhelmed. Yet you can transform that feeling into determination, and action, and success. Remind yourself that you’ve got this. Then set about to prove yourself right with your attitude and your behavior. It’s something you’ve done before, and something you can continue right now. Know that you’ve got this, act on that knowledge, and experience the great results you’re able to produce. — Ralph Marston

Whatever the outcome Work to create your desired outcomes. Commit to those outcomes, focus on the specific efforts they demand, and persist in those efforts. But stop short of allowing your outcomes to define you. Though your efforts and their effects add much value to life, they are not the essence of who you are. If you fail to achieve an intended result, it’s not the end of the world. It’s an opportunity to learn, to adjust, to gain wisdom and determination. Whenever you’ve been disappointed by yourself, by others, or by circumstances, the sun will rise the next day. Rise with it, and set about taking care of what’s important. You won’t get all the outcomes you set out to get. Yet with persistence and a clear sense of purpose, you’ll achieve more than enough. Don’t let misfortune stop you, and don’t let success stop you either. Whatever the outcome, keep going, and keep working to bring new beauty, meaning, and fulfillment to life. — Ralph Marston

Embrace your feelings Welcome the way you feel, for there is authentic life in your feeling. Treasure the feelings as they change from one day to the next, in this situation and that. Rather than hiding from your feelings or casting judgment on them, experience them. Let them instruct you, prepare you, and draw you deeper into the reality of existence. Feel the warm sun, the cold wind, the pleasure, the pain, the satisfaction and disappointment. Allow each feeling to come in its time, to go when it is done, to be replaced with another. What you are feeling now is adding to the richness of who you are. In due time, another feeling is sure to bring even more insight, wisdom, awareness, and experience. Some feelings you seek to have more of, and others you’d rather avoid. Yet each one that arises gives you the opportunity to be your best, most genuine, creative, effective self. That’s always an opportunity worth living to the fullest. Embrace your feelings, accept their gifts, rise to their challenges, and harvest the richness they all can bring. — Ralph Marston

A little bit of headway Slow progress is better than no progress. Take heart in whatever gains you’ve made, and keep going. There’s a big difference between going slow and stopping completely. Even if you’re making just a little bit of headway, that’s preferable to being at a standstill or falling behind. You cannot do everything, yet you can do something. Just because you’re unable to move as fast as you would like, that’s no reason to give up. Go right ahead at whatever pace you can sustain. The small gains add up, and bit by bit, put you ahead. It’s natural to feel overwhelmed by the immensity of the effort in front of you. Yet even then, you can choose one thing and start to work on it, then the next, and soon you’re getting great things done. Move swiftly when circumstances allow, and when things are not so ideal, move at whatever pace you can. You’ll get through it, you’ll get good work accomplished, and you’ll also be stronger and wiser for the experience. — Ralph Marston

Focus and curiosity Use your curiosity to gather knowledge and experiences. Employ your focus to weave together, expand upon, and make purposeful sense of what curiosity brings to your awareness. Setting curiosity aside for a while to achieve better focus does not mean you’re renouncing your curiosity. You’re actually using focus to make good use of what your curiosity has presented to you. A similar dynamic is at work when you let go of your focus in order to indulge your curiosity. You’re not permanently abandoning focus, but instead you’re finding new and compelling subjects to focus upon. Focus and curiosity benefit when you appreciate the contributions of both. The ideal strategy is to keep them in balance. Keep that in mind when you’re tempted to break away from what you’re focused on and run toward some new discovery. Resist the temptation, knowing that your curiosity will still be there after the work is completed, when you can pursue it free of any guilt. Get your focus and your curiosity working in cooperation, with respect and consideration for each other. That is always a powerful combination. — Ralph Marston
