If you wait for the ideal situation, it will never come. If you create the ideal situation, it will always be, whenever you choose for it to be.
There are plenty of excuses you can make for why this is not the time to act. And while you’re busy making those excuses, someone else is busy taking those same actions that you are merely considering.

The time is right when you make it right. Waiting and hoping for things to get better will just allow things to get worse.

If it’s important to you, figure out a way to get started on it now. Because the more you delay, the more you’re telling yourself that it’s really not that important.

Why would you want to spend your time setting yourself up for disappointment? Instead, you can spend that time marching steadily toward your goals.

The ideal time is when you make it, and what you make it. Make it now, and make it great.

— Ralph Marston

Let life know who you are. If you have to hide yourself to get what you want, do you really even want it?
And while you’re at it, make sure you let yourself know who you are. Be absolutely honest and authentic, especially with yourself.

It’s easy to get what you want from life. The real difficult and essential work is figuring out what that is.

If you think it might be nice, that’s not enough. If it looks good on somebody else, that’s not enough.

What you truly want is what you dearly love. It is something that uniquely and elegantly expresses the real, live, passionate person you are.

You cannot find that or follow it by pretending to be who you’re not. Be the real you, all the time, and joyfully feel the flow of your own great abundance.

When you must, you will. When there is nothing to fall back on, you can only move forward.
It’s frightening when everything is on the line. It’s also exhilarating and motivating and compelling and empowering.

Commitment is not a halfway thing. Either you’re all the way in or you’re simply not going to be very effective.

Choose your priorities thoughtfully, carefully, and sincerely. Then commit yourself fully to them.

Real, solid, unwavering commitment brings the power of purpose to what you’re doing. Be truly committed, and it happens.

You can achieve whatever you imagine. Do it by jumping all the way in.

— Ralph Marston
