Life improves greatly when you stop letting
things happen and start making things happen.
Instead of being a victim, be a doer.
Instead of
looking for someone to blame, look for what you
can do.
Instead of asking "why did this happen to
me?" ask "what is it that I can do?"
Set your own agenda by focusing steadfastly on
your goals.
No circumstance can overwhelm you,
when you live by intention.
The things that
happen are of minor importance, compared to
what you make of them.
Your strong direction, your sharp focus, your
commitment and effective action will push you
forward through anything, no matter what
happens.
Be responsible -- in your thoughts, your words,
your beliefs, your actions -- for the things that
happen, and they'll be much more to your liking.
Make life happen, and life will happen for you.
-- Ralph Marston
