Simply act. Put aside your thoughts and move.

It’s not about psyching yourself up. It’s not about getting everything aligned

just right. Just act. Do it.

Not in a minute. Not after this show is over. Now.

Of course, your mind will always try to rationalize not acting. It’ll remind

you of all the other things you could be doing. It’ll drudge up all your recent

stresses and doubts.

But don’t act on your thoughts. Act on what’s in front of you.

Change your life by changing your actions. That’s the only way.

Still need more motivation? Think about the greatest people you know of—

either personally or by reputation. Do you consider their thoughts? Or do you

remember their actions?

Do you think Gandhi or Rosa Parks or Abraham Lincoln were never gripped

by thoughts of doubt, fear or uncertainty? How about Nikola Tesla or Steve

Jobs? Do you seriously think those people woke up every day in the perfect

mood with “everything’s coming up roses”, playing in their heads? HELL

NO! They were wracked by the same kind of shit you are, but they acted

ANYWAY. They rolled up whatever was in their way, set it aside and strode

out into the unknown. It wasn’t a passive endeavor. Their greatness didn’t

just miraculously float out into the ether for us to consume. If they hadn’t

taken action, we’d have never known what their passions were in the first

place. We’d never have witnessed their greatness or wisdom.

They toiled, doubted and had sleepless nights, they worried and battled and

ground it out until their lives and their work finally aligned.

I mean, come on, chances are you can think of plenty of people, past and

present, who appeared to have “good thoughts” but never accomplished

much.

That’s what we become when we’re more worried about how we think than

what we do.

On the other hand, think of how many people with negative thoughts have

gone on to become wildly successful.
