Ralph Marston Quotes

With the right attitude, human beings can move mountains. With the wrong attitude, they can be crushed by the smallest grain of sand.

Never let anyone or any social attitude stand in the way of your productivity.

Obstacles are only opportunities to succeed or fail; how we handle them determines what will happen.

Obstacles are what you see when you take your eyes off your goals.

All great undertakings are achieved through mighty obstacles. Keep up the deepest mental poise. Take not even the slightest notice of what puerile creatures may be saying against you.

I learned to focus and work hard and not give up. I learned that every obstacle is really an opportunity.

Fighting, especially at this level, is about getting through adversity. You position yourself mentally to go out and take on obstacles that stand in your way. In the Octagon and in life, you face tough situations and have every chance to quit, but the more adversity you push through, the more likely you are to be successful.

We all have challenges. You can let them be obstacles or roadblocks, or you can use them.

The right attitude can transform a barrier into a blessing, an obstacle into an opportunity or a stumbling block into a stepping stone.

If you focus on the obstacles, then you give them more power. Instead focus on your purpose, on your most authentic and fundamental intentions.

It's easy to have a great attitude when things are going our way...It's when difficult challenges rise before us...that attitude becomes the difference maker.

I look at what I have as a challenge and I could list a whole bunch of different challenges. And I choose not to be daunted by any of them.

There are very real obstacles and challenges to any course of action. And there's no need to add to them, by making up obstacles of your own. Unchain yourself from the bondage of your own thinking.

A positive attitude gives you power over your circumstances instead of your circumstances having power over you.

I don't expect success. I prepare for it.

The brick walls are there to stop the people who don't want it badly enough. They are there to stop the other people!

The world loves to tell you how difficult things are, and the world's not exaggerating. But difficult doesn't mean impossible, and out of the bajillions of things in this universe that you can't control, what you can control is how hard you try, and if or when to pack it in.

You go through big chunks of time where you're just thinking, 'this is impossible - oh,this is impossible'. And then you just keep going and keep going, and you sort of do the impossible.

What we focus on, we empower and enlarge. Good multiplies when focused upon. Negativity multiplies when focused upon. The choice is ours: Which do we want more of?

Stop thinking of failing.

Difficult times are the greatest opportunities in disguise. When we face difficult times we have to put in determined work to get ourselves into joy. Difficult times are your greatest opportunity to practice yourself into joy!

The passion for stretching yourself and sticking to it, even (or especially) when it's not going well, is the hallmark of the growth mindset.

See every difficulty as a challenge, a stepping stone, and never be defeated by anything or anyone.

I accentuate the positive and eliminate the negative. That is the timeless thing.

Dream big, my friend, and never give up. We all make mistakes, but none of us are mistakes. Take one day at a time. Embrace the positive attitudes, perspectives, principles and truths I share, and you, too, will overcome.
