Life is a mountain.
To get to the other side, you must climb it.
To get to the top, you must climb it.
Life is a game. To win, you must show up.
To get what you want for yourself, you must do the work.
You must get your hands dirty.
You must stop waiting for someone,
somewhere, to give you the green light.
You must stop waiting for the perfect time to take action.
There is no perfect time to take action.
The best time to take action, to take initiative,
is right now, is today. If not now, when?
You cannot grow if you do not do the work.
You cannot get ahead in your life if you do not take action.
A beautiful plan won't do it. Only action can change things.
When you take action, things will change.
Do not let fear prevent you from taking the right action.
Fear is real, but do not let it stop you from living,
from loving, from growing.
You can win if you do the work.
You can grow if you take action every day,
if you do something new every day.
If you want to grow, consistency is key.
Action is key. And initiative is key.
“Time is the most precious gift in our possession, for it is the most irrevocable. This is what makes it so disturbing to look back upon the time which we have lost.”- Dietrich Bonhoeffer
Life is time. Time is life. We are not going to be here on this earth forever. While we are here, it is important to live our lives well. Time matters. If you cannot manage your time, you can’t manage your life. As the old saying goes, “How you live your day is how you live your life.” True. If you want to know how you spend your time, keep a daily journal to track your daily activities. I do it every day. To manage your time well, focus on what is really necessary. Focus on the things that can change your life. It is not enough to be busy. The question is: “What are you busy doing?“
“You wish to be great, begin from the least. You are thinking to construct some mighty fabric in height; first think of the foundation of humility.”- Augustine of Hippo
If you want to do great things in your life, start with the little things. It is okay to focus on where you are going, but don’t ignore the little things. Because if you don’t do the little things well, you will find it difficult to achieve your dream. Small things count. Don’t ignore them. It takes humility to do the little things well. If you want to reach your destination, humility is the way. Humility opens doors. It opens the door to success. It brings other humble people into your life. It makes things easier for you. So, if you want to succeed, be a humble person.
“No man is free until he learns to do his own thinking and gains the courage to act on his own personal initiatives.”- Napoleon Hill
Don’t delegate your life away. If you do, you will regret the result. Do your own thinking yourself. Do not let people talk you away from your dreams. It is not easy to think for yourself, but if you have the courage to do it, you will feel better about your life. Don’t let fear stop you from thinking for yourself. Sometimes we don’t take the lead because we scared of the unknown. If you don’t have the courage to think for yourself, your dreams will not survive. Don’t kill your own dreams. Instead, feed your dreams with positive thoughts. According to Jim Stovall, “Dreams are the essence of life… not as it is but as it can be.” Feed it.
“Bad times, hard times, this is what people keep saying; but let us live well,and times shall be good. We are the times: such as we are, such are the times.”- Augustine of Hippo
You always get what you are expecting. If you are looking for hard times, they will come to you. You will find them. If you are looking for good times, they will come to you. You will find them. To live your life well, don’t focus on what is not working, focus on what is working. Don’t focus on darkness, if you want light.
