Imagination

Your life flows out from your imagination. Whatever you choose to become, you have first chosen to imagine.
--Ralph Marston

The Purpose of Life

The purpose of life is not to be happy. It is to be useful, to be honorable, to be compassionate, to have it make some difference that you lived and lived well.
--Ralph Waldo Emerson

Magical Mystery

"This magical mystery that is your life knows only the limits you choose to give it."
--Ralph Marston

Indecision

Indecision brings its own delays,
And days are lost lamenting over lost days.
Are you in earnest? Seize this very minute;
What you can do, or dream you can do, begin it;
Boldness has genius, power and magic in it.
--Goethe

First Things First

Do first things first and second things not at all. As Goethe said, "The things that matter most must never be at the mercy of the things that matter least."
--Brian Tracy

Action

Plan your action, keep it simple, and get into motion.

Determination

No impediment stands in the way of pure human determination. Any obstacle can be overcome.
--Joseph Droual
