.:Power past distractions:.

Power past distractions: by Ralph Marston

Distractions pick at you, grab at you, seek to entice you and to push you aside. The assault never stops, yet you have the strength, the will and ability to live beyond it all.

You can form an intention and follow that intention no matter what. You can feel your purpose, live that purpose and render the distractions irrelevant.

Always, the world’s meaningless noise clamors to get you caught up. Live and function on a level higher than that noise, and it ceases to be a problem.

You can power your awareness past any distraction. Because you can ask yourself what’s most important, and you can answer.

The goal you’ve set, the difference you want to make, the dream you hold, these all matter. Remind yourself how much they matter, and aim your focus in their direction.

Know who you are, what you love and care about most. Feed your purpose into the power of intention, and distractions won’t distract you for long.

.:Give Joy a Chance:.

Give joy a chance: by Ralph Marston

Instead of dismissing the possibility of joy in this moment, give joy a chance. Your joy will change things for the better, right now.

Go ahead and be joyful that you’re you, that you’re here, experiencing this time and place. Whatever the circumstance, joy is possible.

And not only is joy possible, it is powerful. Joy forces you to consider your best options and connects you to your highest values.

Joy reminds you of what really matters. Joy lifts you above your limiting assumptions.

Even when problems surround you, especially when problems surround you, give joy a chance. Joy is a choice that requires strength, and by expressing joy you experience your strength.

You have it in you to be joyful, now and always. Give joy a chance, and feel the positive power as it sweeps across your world.
