Invest In You

A significant part of your environment is
the people you spend time with. These
people have a huge impact on you and your
decisions. That is precisely why you
need to be sure you surround yourself
with those who support you and your
ambitions.

Do your best to avoid people who belittle
your enthusiasm, put you down or try to
squash your dreams. Do your best to seek
out those that support your goals and
share your infectious energy.

Surround yourself with positive people.
When you combine that with both positive
energy and attitude, you can't help but soar.



Holding grudges against one another takes a tremendous
amount of energy and slowly erodes your happiness.

If you think about it, it's also a waste of time. You have
so many better things to do with your life.

When you allow negative emotions to affect your
daily thoughts and actions, you become controlled by
them.

Take a check of the resentment you hold against your
loved ones, your co-workers or even your neighbor,
Try to overcome your resentment by letting your
considerate and loving nature dominate thoughts and
actions.

You can choose how to live your life. Free yourself from
resentment and you will regain all of your energy. Try
it. You will feel great when you do!


The times when you experience the highest level of fulfillment are the
times when you give the most of yourself. The moments that are most
meaningful are the moments into which you invest your effort, your energy
and your commitment.
If you do just enough to get by, that's precisely what will happen --
you'll just get by. Yet when you truly invest yourself in life, with
your time and work and attention, the dividends will be rich indeed.

It is your great fortune to be alive and living, aware and capable on
this day that is filled with endless possibilities. You can squander
that fortune or you can choose to expand and enlarge it even further.

The best that life has to offer cannot be bought with money. It can
only be earned with your time, your effort, your attention and commitment.
Accomplishment and fulfillment cannot be purchased off the shelf. They
come as a result of what you're willing to give.

Invest the best of yourself in this day, in this moment, in the great
experience of living. It's an investment that will continue to pay
increasingly valuable returns.

Ralph Marston
