What do You have to Offer

You can have anything you desire when you have something to offer in return.

The path to lasting success is traveled by continuously creating something new
and valuable to offer.

If your focus is on getting, and taking, and acquiring, you will meet up with much resistance.

Such an approach will make it nearly impossible to accomplish the goals you've set for yourself.

Focus instead on finding ways to give, to create value, and to make that real and meaningful value available to others.

When you seek to give of yourself, the possibilities for doing so will have no limit.

Many people are, by nature, quite thoroughly self-centered.
Do you realize what an incredible opportunity that represents?

By giving people what they want, you can readily achieve whatever you want.
Work to advance the interests of others, and your own interests are
even more profoundly advanced.

Look at the world around you and ask yourself what you're able to offer
that can bring value to the moment and to the situation.
Answer that question and you've figured out how to move quickly ahead.
~Ralph Marston~

You Can Do It

You are strong...when you take your grief and teach it to smile.
You are brave...when you overcome your fear and help others to do the same.
You are happy...when you see a flower and are thankful for the blessing.
You are loving...when your own pain does not blind you to the pain of others.
You are wise...when you know the limits of your wisdom.
You are true...when you admit there are times you fool yourself.
You are alive...when tomorrow's hope means more to you than yesterday's mistake.
You are growing...when you know what you are but not what you will become.
You are free...when you are in control of yourself and do not wish to control others.
You are honorable...when you find your honor is to honor others.
You are generous...when you can take as sweetly as you can give.
You are humble...when you do not know how humble you are.
You are thoughtful...when you see me just as I am and treat me just as you are.
You are merciful...when you forgive in others the faults you condemn in yourself.
You are beautiful...when you don't need a mirror to tell you.
You are rich...when you never need more than what you have.
You are you...when you are at peace with who you are not.

New Day

This is the beginning of a new day.
I have been given this day to use as I will.
I can waste it, or use it.

I can make it a day long to be remembered for its joy, its beauty and its achievements, or it can be filled with pettiness.

What I do today is important because I am exchanging a day of my life for it.

When tomorrow comes this day will be gone forever, but I shall hold something which I have traded for it.

It may be no more than a memory, but if it is a worthy one I shall not regret the price.

I want it to be gain not loss, good not evil, success not failure.
