In his 2001 book “Good to Great”, Jim Collins states: “First who … Then What.  We expected that good-to-great leaders would begin by setting a new vision and strategy.  We found instead that they first got the right people on the bus, the wrong people off the bus, and the right people in the right seats- and then they figured out where to drive it.  The old adage ‘People are your most important asset’ turns out to be wrong.  People are not your most important asset.  The right people are.”

"The lead car is absolutely, truly unique, except for the one behind it which is exactly identical to the one in front of the similar one in back." - Grand Prix Race Announcer

The joy of effort

The joy of effort

 

Nothing can match the joy and satisfaction which come from sustained and effective effort. Every person, at some level, has a desire to make a difference. Getting things done, making things happen, creating positive value though effort is a powerful and proven way to make that difference.

Yet all too often we go out of our way to seek comfort and convenience while avoiding as much effort as possible. We make the tragic assumption that "the good life" is defined by an absence of effort, when in fact the opposite is true. There's nothing more empty than a life devoted to leisure.

Fill your days with honest and effective effort. Make a difference in a positive way and your rewards will be great. Experience the abundance of joy which comes from making things happen and getting things done.

 

-- Ralph Marston

Now you are ready

Now you are ready

Stop for just a moment and think a pleasant thought. Relax your mind, your body and your spirit. Find a moment of joy in the beauty of being, right here, right now. Put aside your concerns for a little bit. Experience the depth and wonder of your own existence.

Realize that in this very moment you have everything you could possibly need or want for right now. Settle your spirit into the confidence and assurance which that thought engenders.

Now you are ready for any challenge the world can throw at you. Now you are able to build on the abundance which is already yours. Now you can see your concerns not as problems but as opportunities.

You are alive. You are capable. You are worthy and able. You have at your command a powerful, undeniable force -- the strength to live, to think and to act. Every great achievement is built through thought, action and the passion of being alive. You have everything it takes. Now go forward and make your own special greatness.

-- Ralph Marston

Making the simple ...............

Making the simple complicated is commonplace; making the complicated simple, awesomely simple, that's creativity. - Charles Mingus

Fill life

Fill life

Fill the world around you with beauty, and there will be no place left for darkness. Let your spirit be filled with joy, and there will be no room available for anxiety.

Fill your body with nutritious food, and there will be no room for toxic junk. Fill your heart with love, and there will be no place left for hatred.

Fill your actions with real, meaningful purpose, and there will be no room for doubt or insecurity. Fill your moments with goodness, and there will be no place for resentment.

Fill your relationships with kindness, with sincerity, and there will be no room left for discord. Fill your mind with positive thoughts, and there will be no space left for dismay. Fill your days with passion and meaning, and there will be no room for regret. The more good, positive, loving, productive and effective things with which you fill your life, the less room there will be for the undesirable things.

Fill your life, your world, with the best that you can give.

-- Ralph Marston

Your mind will unlock great mysteries.

Ability and commitment

Greatness most often results not from extraordinary ability, but rather from ordinary ability followed through with extraordinary devotion. Commitment, depth of passion and clarity of purpose will elevate even the most ordinary, mundane efforts into the realm of

truly great achievement.

Exceptional ability is a wonderful gift, though by itself it won't get you very far. More important than ability are desire and commitment. Without them, ability is useless. With them, any shortage of ability can be overcome.

Everyone alive has plenty of passion, though too often the true identity of that passion lies hidden. When you make the effort to understand and solidly connect with your passion, the result is an unyielding level of commitment to fulfilling that passion.

Whatever your level of ability, it will take you wherever you desire to go when energized with passion and commitment.

A decided advantage

Working every moment toward an objective is far more productive than waiting until the last moment to get started. Progressing steadily gives you a decided advantage over catching up frantically.

The farther in advance you begin to make a difference, the more you're able to leverage your time and effort. Over time, modest efforts can add together to bring big results. Start early, remain steady, and you can do amazing things. Take the opportunity of each day as it comes, and those opportunities seized will pile on top of one another into something grand.

Right now you are working steadily toward a future that you choose by virtue of the actions you take on the way there. Each moment is precious in its own sake, and even more valuable because it contains the seed of greater moments become. Enjoy each moment, nurture the seeds of possibility, and you'll reap a bountiful harvest.

The Echo of Life

The direction of strength

It's helpful to visualize strength as something that flows only in a positive, creative direction. When you go along in the same direction, your strength increases. When you move in the other direction, whatever strength you have will quickly disappear.

Apply your strength toward positive and productive ends, and that strength grows. Use your strength for destructive purposes, and you'll see that strength drained away.

Are you going in a direction that's making you stronger? Or are you struggling against the current of your own positive possibilities? When you feel yourself losing strength, it's time to reconsider your direction.

Turn toward excellence. Turn toward goodness, integrity, and accomplishment. Turn toward being the best you can be, and feel your strength grow with each passing day.

-- Ralph Marston
