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.
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.

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 nonphysical
electrical impulse we call a thought into a
physical reality
