Until you make peace with who you are, you'll never be content with what you have.

Good to just be

It’s good to take action, to achieve, to go from place to place. It’s also good to just be.

You don’t always need to have the most intriguing, impressive story to tell. What has much more value is your authentic story.

Much of what you strive to attain you must continue striving to keep. Be willing to let go of what you possess, or it will possess you.

Enjoy the challenge of creating new value. Also, allow time and space to enjoy the value that you’ve created.

Fill your mind with facts, observations, and experiences. Then give it all the chance to mature over time into wisdom.

With clear intention and focused effort, give to life. And be receptive enough to let the best of life get through to you.

— Ralph Marston
