Within you
Within you is the confidence to let go of all that does not lift up life. Somewhere within is the patience to understand, to respect, the wisdom to forgive.
Inside you is the strength to love when love doesn’t seem to do any good. Find that strength, use it, do it.
Discipline, perseverance, tolerance, kindness, commitment, acceptance are all there too. You’ve earned this great store of treasure in all the experiences you’ve made your way through.
Though the world’s bright shiny things can be compelling, always keep this in mind. Inside is where value lives, and you can call on that value in any situation.
Everything that matters to you, matters because of the way you feel inside. Within that reality is power to do just about anything you can imagine.
Somewhere inside you is the will to get up, get started, to keep going and to prevail against all odds. It’s as close as your next thought and as powerful as you choose to be.
— Ralph Marston
