Daily Motivator - July
Yours right now Take in the beauty of this moment and let it fill you. Yet do not try to hold it. For as soon as you attempt to possess it, the beauty is lost. When you grasp it too tightly, you lose the ability to experience it. Let this unique moment flow toward you, and then let it flow away from you as the next moment comes to take its place. Allow the beautiful experience of life to be born again and again. The real value of this moment is in the way you live it. Live it fully, lovingly, gratefully, and there is no need to hold on to it, for the best of it will always be a part of you. Each moment offers its own special treasure. Let go of your need to judge, to analyze, to possess, and simply experience the wonder that is yours right now. You are free in this moment to live, to create, to give, to grow. Lovingly open your eyes to the abundant possibilities, and dive gently into this beautiful moment. — Ralph Marston

All you’ve experienced Your failed attempts have taught you crucial lessons. Those good intentions you never followed through on have given you an appreciation for the value of commitment. Regrets born in your past provide inspiration and energy that you can put to good use. Now you can benefit from it all. Not only can you expand upon whatever successes you’ve created. You’re also able to find wisdom and fresh determination in recalling those painful times when you’ve disappointed yourself. From the richness of your life experience, today you can begin to take effective action. You have what it takes to continue doing so until you’ve achieved the results that truly matter to you. Your past has played a significant role in the person you now are. Yet no matter how definitive that past has been, your future is not a foregone conclusion. That future will be shaped by what you do today, drawing upon all you’ve experienced and all you know, using whatever you have. Now is your opportunity to make it the best you can imagine. — Ralph Marston

Meaningful life Meaning has infinite potential. You can always experience more, create more, and offer more meaning. Indeed, every experience of a particular form of meaning that already exists, results in more meaning. Through your own life, through all of life, meaning is kept alive. Meaning flows in all directions. Through every connection, every activity, you accumulate meaning and you disperse meaning. To live with rich meaning is a matter of opening yourself up to the potential for meaning that is everywhere. Be eager to imbue meaning and you find it in abundance. Your meaningful self continually interacts with your rational self and your emotional self to enrich your life. And yet meaning is not constrained by or limited to reason or feelings. Your life, your world, what you know and what you don’t, all mean something because you are able to experience meaning. However it unfolds, yours is a meaningful and precious life, with value far beyond what can ever be imagined. — Ralph Marston

Mental work Take the time, have the courage, to explore your own thoughts. Within those thoughts you can find great treasure. Every thought you think is informed by the totality of your knowledge and experience. Give those thoughts the time, space, and focus to interact with each other. No, you don’t want to spend all your time wandering through your own thoughts. However, a regular, reasonable period of uninterrupted thinking is well worth the investment. It’s quite amazing that you have quick and easy access to the expressed thoughts of so many other people. And yet for all that insight to have value in your own life, you must do the mental work to integrate it well. Think, listen to your thoughts, make a record of them, review them, challenge them, refine them. Among your many advisors, make sure one of them is you. Your life can always benefit from some serious, prolonged, and introspective thought. Offer yourself that benefit often. — Ralph Marston

Truth is easier It’s easy and often convenient to say what you don’t mean, to claim what is not true, to hide what is real. But the further you venture from the truth, the more difficult is your way forward. By very definition, reality always has a way of asserting itself. Every falsehood requires additional falsehoods to support it, and also to support those, until at some point no more falsehoods are possible. As difficult as truth can often be, it is easier than the alternative. Especially when truth is difficult, the sooner you accept it and express it, the better. For once the truth is out, it does not have to be constantly propped up. Though living truthfully can be a lot of work, it has the great advantage of not being at odds with reality itself. Though it could take years and years, being delusional eventually ends up as the only remaining alternative to being truthful. And acting from a delusional perspective quickly becomes ineffective. Truth can be a hard and painful choice. Yet it’s a whole lot easier than any other choice. — Ralph Marston

Rewarding life The reward is not in the prize. The reward is in the effort. The prize is a mere token. And when it is not earned, it is an empty, meaningless, worthless token, no matter how much glitter it may possess. The prospect of pleasure exerts a powerful pull. Yet as desirable as it may be, pleasure does not, will not, cannot sustain you. Every day brings you the opportunity to insert some sort of value in the world where it never existed before. As you already know from experience, a rewarding life comes from capitalizing on such opportunities. Which would you prefer, to have everything and to have done nothing, or to have nothing and to have done everything? Life is in the living, in the participation, in the dynamic attaining rather than in the cold, static trophy. Here right now is your chance to do that living, to take on the challenges, to make a difference that comes from deep within. Feel your unique potential as it beckons you to an increasingly rewarding life, and answer the call. — Ralph Marston

The way things are To improve reality you must first accept and adapt to the specific reality that already exists. You cannot change reality by hiding from it, or wishing it away, or pretending it’s something different than it is. You have dreams, desires, detailed ideas of how you would like the world to be. Yet the only starting place you can ever have is where you are, the way things are. Shouting down, ignoring, or demonizing those who speak the truth will not make the truth go away. Only by accepting and working within what is true and what is real can you make any progress. It is admirable to put passion and energy into moving toward an ideal. To do so you must carefully and honestly navigate through territory that is not ideal. That means understanding and having some degree of respect for those who do not share your ideal. It means working to find common ground and then working further to expand upon that common ground. The current reality has its roots in times and circumstances that existed long before you were ever aware of them. Your success at creating positive change depends on your willingness to humbly accept that truth and operate within the way things are. — Ralph Marston

Love of living Live for the love of living. Love for the joy of loving. Listen, watch, taste, feel, and know you’re a crucial part of all you experience. Give because giving is who you are and what you do. Dance to the music of the wind that flows through all existence. See that reality itself is the ultimate magic. Harvest golden sunlight, plunge into the deep blue ocean. Soar above the misty morning on sturdy wings of thankfulness. Embrace the contradictions, explore the mysteries. Treasure the countless factors that enrich your existence. Look in every direction with eyes full of love, appreciation, and thirst for new adventure. Share, expand, and improve upon the best you’re able to see. — Ralph Marston
