TAKING ACTION

Many times I think of all the things I would like to accomplish. So many ideas and thoughts of how my life could be. Imagination going full speed ahead, thinking of the future, dreaming of a better tomorrow, wondering if the successful life will ever be fulfilled. The thoughts of success never quite seem to be realized. What is the barrier? What is stopping me?

The courage to begin separates dreamers from achievers. Starting is the key:
because if we want to be successful, we must start sometime. The willingness to act-to overcome inertia-is the first step on the path to greatness.

Begin where you are; work where you are; the hour which you are now wasting, dreaming of some far off success may be crowded with grand possibilities.

To begin, begin. The only way to start is to start. Everyone who got where he is had to begin where he was. Take action on your dreams. Take daily action toward your dreams, however small, and your dreams will become reality.

PRIME THE PUMP

The common conception is that motivation leads to action, but the reverse is true-action precedes motivation. You have to "prime the pump" and get the juices flowing, which motivates you to work on your goals. Getting momentum going is the most difficult part of the job, and often taking the first step...is enough to prompt you to make the best of your day.

CALL TO ACTION

Do you need to bring about an alteration? Do you need to get a thing done? What goal do you have that needs to be broken down into stages, steps, or smaller pieces of ACTION. How would you go about expressing ACTION? What do you picture as the most vigorous, productive, or exciting ACTION that you can take today? Where would you go if you if you could go where the ACTION is? What would be the most important and rewarding ACTION that you could take today? What ACTION have you been putting off that if you acted on would bring a sense of reward and accomplishment?

The time is now. The time is today. Live in the present. Enjoy your day. Your actions come from the choices you make. Choose to act on the things that bring happiness to your life. Choose to act on the things that bring happiness to others. If you rest, you rust. Nothing to it but to DO IT!

THOUGHT DETERMINES WHAT YOU WANT.
ACTION DETERMINES WHAT YOU GET
