Ralph Marston Quotes

Never forget that all you have is all you need.

There's only one reason why you're not experiencing bliss at this present moment, and it's because you're thinking or focusing on what you don't have....But, right now you have everything you need to be in bliss.

It's so much easier to be happy. It's so much easier to choose to love the things that you have, instead of always yearning for what you're missing, or what it is that you're imagining you're missing. It is so much more peaceful.

The treasure we seek requires no lengthy expedition, no expensive equipment, no superior aptitude or special company. All we lack is the willingness to imagine that we already have everything we need. The only thing missing is our consent to be where we are.

To be content means that you realize you contain what you seek.

If you want a fulfilled life, stop thinking about wealthy people and what they have and you don't. Stop thinking from a place of scarcity.

I need no fantasies to belittle the great treasures that I already possess.

It's only our story that keeps us from knowing that we always have everything we need.

I am grateful for who I am and who I am not. I am grateful for the life I have been given and for all that I have and all that I don't. Every breath I take is a blessing and an opportunity to fully experience the sheer joy of being alive.

We would be happier with what we have if we weren't so unhappy about what we don't' have

The word desire suggests that there is something we do not have. If we have everything already, then there can be no desire, for there is nothing left to want. I think that what the Buddha may have been trying to tell us is that we have it all, each of us, all the time; therefore, desire is simply unnecessary.

The secret of happiness, you see, is not found in seeking more, but in developing the capacity to enjoy less.

The more we count the blessings we have, the less we crave the luxuries we haven't.

The biggest enemy to prayer is praying for something you already have.

All I have is all I need and all I need is all I have in this moment.

You will never be happy if you continue to search for what happiness consists of. You will never live if you are looking for the meaning of life.

I don't focus on happiness as a goal or an end.

Existence itself does not feel horrible; it feels like an ecstasy, rather, which we have only to be still to experience.

To be without some of the things you want is an indispensable part of happiness.

I love being. There's so much wisdom in it. You wake up in the morning and you think, Hey, isn't it great just being?

The secret of happiness is to admire without desiring.

The pursuit of happiness is a most ridiculous phrase: if you pursue happiness you'll never find it.

You have reached the pinnacle of success as soon as you become uninterested in money, compliments, or publicity.

I can't rely on my money to be happy.

I don't need much to be happy.
