Through The Tulips Words of 'Wiz'dom

Anyone who knows me knows that I love quotations and words that motivate and inspire. I like to share things that I come across that serve to inspire and motivate me, in hopes that it will have a domino effect in the lives of those around me.

This morning, I came across the wise words of Ralph Marston, which I share below. If you were a regular reader of my old journal, then you know that I often shared Ralph’s words of ‘wiz’dom.

When I began my weight loss journey in January of 2008, I learned to set myself free, to let go of the excuses, realizing that the only person who was holding me back, was ME.

These words below can be said about so much more- and I find myself being challenged in other aspects of my life- to realize that ‘can’t’ is a word that defeats me before I even begin, and that even if I don’t succeed in the way that I may have hoped, just beginning is moving towards the goal, towards grasping the brass ring.

I hope that today, you’ll also be challenged to reach beyond yourself, outside of your comfort zones and go for the brass ring.

Happy Saturday- Thanks Ralphie, for these great words of ‘wiz’dom.

Set yourself free

There is no outside force holding you back. You are holding you back and you are blaming it on someone or something else.
The way you are able to continue holding yourself back is by maintaining the illusion that you’re a victim. Once you release that illusion, you will naturally and easily move forward.

In fact, it is easier to fulfill your best possibilities than it is to avoid them. So let go of the blame and watch the limitations drop away.

Certainly there will always be challenges, and yet it is not the challenges that hold you back. For each challenge provides you with a pathway through which you can move toward fulfillment.

It is your very nature to accomplish. Lovingly accept your destiny, and allow that accomplishment to be manifest through you.

Set yourself free to follow your purpose. Set yourself free to truly live.

— Ralph Marston
