NEVER STOP REACHING --------------- It is only when a seed grows that it can produce more seeds. It is only when you express joy and abundance in your own life that you can help others to know joy and abundance in their lives. To make yourself miserable for the sake of helping others will serve no useful purpose at all. The best way to be of service to others is from a position of strength and fulfillment rather than from a position of weakness and despair.
The goals and dreams and desires that are so undeniably your own are yours for a reason. They are showing you, and at the same time compelling you, to make the most of your life.
It is not selfish to be your very best. What's truly selfish is to let your enormous potential go unrealized.
What have you always wanted to know, always wanted to have, always wanted to do, and always wanted to be? It is never too late to honestly answer that question, and to answer it with all the colorful detail and passion that it deserves.
For in the answer to that question is your own truly beautiful and unique gift to life. Never stop reaching for the best you can imagine; for when you fulfill your highest possibilities, you raise the whole world up with you.
-- Ralph Marston

Thanks Ann for another great post. You know it's these posts and this site which are changing me, evolving me, as I grow in my quit. I tell people when they ask how I am, that I truly have no complaints and I am actually very happy, in fact, never happier. It's amazing. It's got nothing to do with how much money you have or anything like that, but in one's attitude. When you have soul pills like these articles, you can't help but grow in your ability to appreciate life and to be happy as a result.
Happy New Year Ann!
