Thinking is
good, yes it is. I strongly encourage thinking. In fact, thinking plays a
terrific role in success. It helps you strategize. It helps you get motivated.
It tunes you into success. I am all for thinking and I do it regularly!
That being
said, just thinking, no matter how good of a thinker you are, will never
catapult you to success. The difference between the thinker who succeeds and
the thinker who doesn’t is that the thinker who succeeds also ACTS!
Life does not
reward thinking. Life rewards action. Let me clarify:
Life rewards thoughtful action.
Think first, by
all means… But then ACT!
Do you want to
gain wealth? The save your money – ACT!
Do you want to lose weight? Then hit the treadmill – ACT!
Do you want a new job? Then quit your current one – ACT!
Do you want to write a book? Then begin to write – ACT!
Do you want a new friend? Then introduce yourself – ACT!
Anything you
want to accomplish will only be done by bold and decisive action.
Wishing won’t bring
it about. Neither will dreaming. Nor will hoping.
Nope, you must
ACT.
What is it you
want from life? Tell me. Be specific. Be clear. Think about it. Strategize.
Roll it around inside that noggin of yours. Got it? Good. Now what? What will
you DO to turn that non-physical electrical impulse we call a thought into a
physical reality?
There is only
one thing: ACTION.
Will you
succeed? Will you achieve your dreams? Will you live the life that you want?
Only you can make that decision because only you can decide whether or not you
will act.
My friends,
life rewards action. Your actions do not need to be perfect. They just need to
be. And then they get rewarded with success. With achievement. Accomplishment.
You have the
power within you to lead YOUR life as you see it. There is only one question
you must answer for yourself:
Will I act?
Because Life
Rewards Action.
