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.
