A Better World

A better world

It may sometimes seem that the world is shallow and petty and focused only on meaningless, superficial concerns. Yet you can choose to live in a better world.
It may appear that there is an overwhelming amount of violence, despair and injustice in the world. Yet you can choose to live in a better world.

Look at the world in a positive light, and suddenly you've made it a better place. Act on the possibilities that you see, and you give real substance to your positive vision.

Imagine how the world would be if everyone became focused on the positive possibilities. By directing your own awareness toward those possibilities, and by acting on them, you make them more vibrant, more visible and more compelling.

By working to improve your own attitude and your own life, you become a living example for all the world to see. And a living example is hard to ignore.

The way a better world emerges is one life at a time. Start with your own life, and let the goodness quickly spread outward from you.

-- Ralph Marston

What Magnificent World

What if you have more power, much more power in fact, than you realize? What would you want to do with it?

What if the way you look at the world could change the world itself? What kind of world would you choose to see?

What if things you always considered impossible were suddenly to happen for you? What new possibilities would you start to consider?

What if you discovered, without the slightest trace of doubt, that your reality springs faithfully and relentlessly from your imagination? What would you begin to imagine?

Do the limits in your life exist because someone or something has imposed them on you? Or are they there because you have chosen the comfort of their familiarity?

Imagine letting go of those limits, and watching them fall effortlessly away. What magnificent world will you dare to create?

-- Ralph Marston
