“There is no limit to what you can imagine.”
-Ralph Marson

Recently, I have been introduced to Ralph Marson’s exceptional motivational work as well as some of his powerful, extraordinary quotes.

As a continual seeker of any motivational, uplifting material that will keep taking me to the “next” level in my life, Marson’s work left a permanent impression on me immediately. Like one of my other favorite successful role models, Brian Tracy, self-made millionaire, both men know that one of the key elements to being successful is the ability to lift, support, and believe in others as you continue to grow and increase the levels of success in your own life. You must lift others up in order to be successful yourself. You must believe in others to believe in yourself.

It is my belief that this philosophy goes back to the time old adage that, we truly do treat others how we treat ourselves. If we believe in others, we do so because we believe in ourselves. If we put others down, that is because we most assuredly putting ourselves down as well. It is, as simple and as complex as that.

The complexity that comes into play, is what throws all of us the many challenges we face in our lives. And, of course, this level of complexity differs from person to person and background to background. This is why I constantly seek uplifting, inspirational role models and experiences; to keep my spirits high for the moments when they might otherwise fall victim to the doubts and fears many of us deal with on a daily basis. The less negative worries and input I hear and am exposed to the better for me in all aspects of my life.

As Brian Tracy has repeatedly expressed, “everything is important”; from what you watch, to who you surround yourself with, to what values you hold dear to your heart. Never compromise who you are for anyone. Be a completely honest, good person and this will be returned to you a hundred fold.

Or as Deepak Chopra believes, you attract what energy you are giving off. If you want certain things in life you must believe that you can have them, that you deserve them and then they will come to you. These wants and desires will be attracted to your energy; like energy attracts like energy.

Like plants, we all need to be placed in the best conditions possible for our optimal growth, well-being, and ability to be successful. When we are we feel our best, are able to perform at our best, and can strive to do even more than we ever thought possible. Like a plant needs the correct amount of sunlight, not too much for some, and much more for others, we need to figure out what combination of factors are best for us.

Trust the intuitive voice inside yourself to find out what these factors are for you. Make time to sit and get to know yourself better; even if you can only manage a few moments out of every single day, this will improve your life. We make time for friends. We need to because life can get busy, hectic and we may lose track of what their new interests and activities are. These daily changes, change that person forever, just as your experiences change your self-concept forever as well. Without taking time to really reflect and, literally, be a friend to yourself, you can lose track of what has or still is most important to you.

Do not let yourself get swept away in the rushing influx of life without having a clear direction of where and what you want to accomplish. You will only be happiest and feel your very best when you know that your goals and dreams are in alignment with your heart, spirit, mind and body.

Take care of each other and yourself, always.

My best wishes to all.
