Today is the Day!


"Knowing is not enough; we must apply.
Willing is not enough, we must do"
               Joann Wolfgang von Goethe


All the wishing in the world will not make something happen. If that was the case I would be a multi-millionaire living "la dolce vita" in a villa in Italy!

Whatever you are wishing for in your life right now involves taking action.

Yes, it may start as an idea but it will never transpire to be anything more than that unless you
take solid steps to make it a reality. Taking action involves effort and you will only make that effort if the thing you want is made a priority in your life.

For example, all the wishing in the world cannot make you lose weight. That involves exercise and cutting calories (bummer I know!). Your motivation to be slim and healthy has to be stronger than
the desire for that deep dish pizza.

If something is important enough to you, you will be inspired to take the action necessary to achieve the desired result.

If you don't take action, maybe it's not that important to you, even though you claim it is.

Action speaks louder than words.

How many times have you promised yourself you will get organized and clear out your closet or garage? It sounds like a great idea until you see the amount of work involved.

To achieve this, the desire to be clutter free has to be greater than the desire to relax and hang out
with friends. Why not combine the two? Hang out with friends and get organized. Invite them over
to clear out the garage with you. One man's junk is another man's treasure! Its' a win-win situation.

The bottom line is that we don't do anything unless there's a pay-off for us, financial or emotional -
something that makes us feel good.

What do you need to get started on today so that you can feel good? You know what it is.

It's probably been on your to-do list forever. Make a start today.

The first step is always the hardest yet the most rewarding because you will feel a sense of accomplishment once you start.

Added to the fact that you did something you have been promising yourself for a long time.

There is no time like the present. Take a step in the right direction today.

You'll be glad you did.
