7 ways to grow the action habit

Posted: 24 Apr 2012 02:33 AM PDT

Having motivation for change doesn't do any good unless you ACT on it.  Conversly, it's very hard to keep yours in action without motiviation -- we need them both. 

To help you grow the action habit, here are 7 ways to keep yourself moving forward:

1. Don't wait until conditions are perfect.

2. Be a doer

3. Remember that ideas alone don't bring success.

4. Use action to cure fear.

5.  Start your creativity mechanically.

6. Live in the present.

7.  Get down to business immediately.

(thanks to pick the brain for the list!)

“What do you think the weather is going to be like today?" Mulla’s neighbor asked him.

“Oh, the weather? It is going to be perfect today. Just the way I like it." Mulla said with great confidence.

The neighbor, somewhat surprised at the response, said, “How can you be so sure?"

“Well, it is very simple. I have learned to love whatever type of weather I get for I have no control over it," Mulla added, “but staying positive helps me feel motivated all day."  --Om Swami

Hi Jan, just got busy with work stuff and then my stepdaughter had a huge tree fall on her car and garage. Life just happens. We just thank God that they weren't in the car and all is well. Things can be replaced, people can't.  Hugs Debbie

 Oh Debbie,
I'm so sorry, but SO glad no one was hurt.  You're right, nothing is as important as the people in our lives.

Take care of yourself and your family.
