The lesson that can bring light in a dark place is that “every day is a new opportunity”. And the only way to be ready to seize these opportunities is to be willing to take action.
Delaying on starting to work on self change is to allow a lack of discipline the chance to spread like wildfire. That’s the last thing you should want. It’s definitely the last thing you need.
There are tips that can help you get off the couch (either real or metaphorical). Pay close attention and put them to work…
Commit to Doing Rather Than Reading (or worse) Talking. Knowledge is awesome. I am an obsessed reader and writer. This doesn’t change the fact that it’s a poor substitute for action. You can read all the books in the world about lifting weights. If you never lift a weight you will remain fat and weak. If you don’t take action on what you’ve learned don’t expect to be any less lazy at all. When you add action to knowledge that’s when the miracles have a chance to happen.
Quick Action Crushes Fear. There’s nothing wrong with being scared about self-change. It’s a natural reaction to going on a path that will transform your life.
There is something wrong with letting fear paralyze you.
What’s the best remedy for being worried? Taking action.
When you act you step out of the mental realm and into the physical. Most of the time, you will quickly see your fears were unfounded. Even if they have a basis it’s much better to work out REAL problems than ones that exist only in your mind. These can be impossible to ever find solutions to.
Embrace Enthusiasm. You can force yourself to be enthusiastic and if you do, watch out world. More opportunities will not only open, but being motivated to grab them will be much less of a problem too. How do you embrace enthusiasm when you just don’t feel like it? Easy. You “fake it until you make it”! If you force yourself to smile and ACT enthusiastic quickly you will actually find yourself becoming enthusiastic! It’s a mind secret that the world’s greatest self-help gurus like Anthony Robbins and Brian Tracey have used to become successful, both in terms of happiness and in terms of being very, very rich. Follow their example and if you don’t feel like smiling, force yourself anyway!
Every day is a new opportunity and that includes today.
Get up and start applying what you’ve learned! In a few months your entire life could change for the better.
I can’t wait to hear your success story about how the new self-disciplined you took life by the reins. I know it’s going to be absolutely fantastic!
