We must learn to reawaken and keep ourselves awake, not by mechanical aid, but by an infinite expectation of the dawn.

Path beyond the problems

There’s no need to let the problems get you down. Let them get you going.

Draw energy from the positive possibilities that ride along with the problems. Find inspiration in your capacity to make a difference.

It may not be pretty, it may not be easy. Yet there’s a way forward, a path beyond the problems.

Decide that each problem will enable you to grow stronger. Proceed in a way that makes it happen.

Problems are excellent at focusing your attention. Choose to let that work in your favor, and benefit from the power of your focus.

Even when you don’t want problems or seek them, they have a way of arriving. Take the cue and do the work so that when they depart, you’re a whole lot better off.

— Ralph Marston
