♫ "I'm through accepting limits
'Cause someone says they're so
Some things I cannot change
But till I try, I'll never know!
...
I think I'll try
Defying gravity
And you can't pull me down!" ♫
--"Defying Gravity" (from the musical "Wicked"), one of my theme songs to live by!
"Allow yourself to be satisfied with life, just as it is. From your sincere satisfaction, you can move forward. Being satisfied doesn’t mean being complacent or lacking in ambition. Rather, it means being free of the burdens of regret and resentment. Be satisfied with where you are, and you can generate the positive energy to get where you want to be. Be satisfied with where you are, and you won’t waste your energy fighting against what already is.
Embrace your situation, whatever it may be. It is the place from which you can move positively forward. Be truly thankful for the way things are. Your gratitude gives you increased access to the abundance that surrounds you and the possibilities that live within you. Put yourself in a powerful, effective state. Be truly satisfied, and make use of that satisfaction to create much, much more."
--Ralph Marston
