Take Action Today
by Jim Rohn
Knowledge fueled by emotion equals action.
And action is the ingredient that ensures results. Only action can cause
a reaction; to take it one step further, only positive action can cause
a positive reaction.
Action... The whole world loves to watch those who make things
happen, and it rewards them for causing waves of productive enterprise.
I stress this because today I see many people who are really sold
on affirmations. And yet there is a famous saying, "Faith without action
serves no useful purpose." How true!
Now I have nothing against good affirmations when used as a tool to
create action. And it's also true that when repeated, to reinforce a disciplined plan,
affirmations can help create wonderful results.
But there is also a very thin line between faith and folly. You see
affirmations without action can be the beginning of self-delusion. And for your well-being
there is little worse than self-delusion...
The man dreams of
wealth
and yet walks daily toward certain financial
disaster, or the woman who wishes for happiness and yet thinks thoughts and commits acts
that lead her toward certain despair, are both victims of the false hope which affirmations
without action can manufacture. Why? Because words soothe and, like a narcotic, they can
lull us into a state of complacency. Always remember: To make progress you must first
get started!
Now the key is to get started today... Whatever the project, start today!
Start setting your first goal...today. Start listening to
educational CDs...today. Start contacting
two prospects a day...today. Start following-up with your
prospects...today. Start putting a portion of your bonus check into your new
"investment for my fortune" account...today.
Get some momentum going on your new commitment for the good
life. See how many activities
you can pile on your new commitment to build your better
life. Go all out! Break away from the
downward pull of gravity. Start your thrusters going.
Prove to yourself that the waiting is over and the
hoping is past; that faith, and
knowledge,
and action have now taken charge.
Today is your new day, and it can be the beginning of your
new life! With discipline you will be amazed at how much
progress you'll be able to make. Besides what have you got to lose, except the
guilt and fear of the past?
Now if you're really ready to
build a
better life, here's my personal challenge to you: See how many things you can start,
and continue, today...the first day of your new beginning. Because
to make progress
you must first get started!
To Your Success,
Jim Rohn
