Happy Monday - June 2024
"I do!" These two words hold the power to make a difference in your life and the lives of others.
However, good intentions alone are not enough. Our actions, not our intentions, truly measure our lives. The key to success is knowing what to do and actually doing it. It is important to empower ourselves to close the gap between "someday" and "today," from "occasional" to "continued," from "dreaming" to "doing," and from "wishing" to "achieving."
Action is the basis for success and has the power to shape our lives. Without action, no success is possible. Life rewards action, and moving from where we are now to where we want to be requires movement. Even when the right action doesn’t work, it provides us with valuable information and creates new options. Waiting to be motivated before taking action is a fatal mistake. The two most powerful motivational words in our daily vocabulary are “I start!”
We must start with whatever we have, wherever we are, and not stop. The first step of action is always the most critical, and what we won’t do will keep us from success much more than what we can’t do. The secret of getting ahead is getting started. Motivation results from action, and waiting is the least motivating thing we can do.
Action is not just a means to an end, it is the very essence of achieving your purpose, potential, and dreams. No one has ever looked back and regretted taking successful actions. Your future holds the promise of being brighter when you transition from understanding what's important to actually living it. The void between where you are and where you want to be can only be filled with meaningful, repetitive action. While it may not guarantee success or happiness, it certainly increases your odds of attaining both.
Intentionally Own It: Start now, start where you are, simply start! Take guidance from Albert Einstein: "Nothing happens until something moves."
