What Action Have You Taken Today?
I came across a great comment today that I'd like to share with you. You know how a lot of the get-rich gurus are so fond of saying, "All you need to get rich is to change your thinking"? Well, what if you were wounded and went into a hospital and the doctor said, "All you have to do is think healthy thoughts and you'll be healed"?

Wouldn't work, would it. Neither will thinking about success heal the wounds that often keep us stuck in the rut we're in. How do we really change our thinking? By taking the actions we normally would if our thinking already was changed.

By taking positive action instead of procrastinating or making excuses or feeling overwhelmed, we actually start training our minds to think the way we need to. We start healing those wounds of uncertainty and doubt and fear.

And by "taking action" I don't mean simply taking on some busy work that relieves our anxiety about doing nothing but does nothing to advance our goals. I mean taking action on those tasks we know HAVE to be done if we're going to achieve our goals, but that we've put off because they're outside our comfort zone.

Taking action like this is the first step to success.
