To Be Effective In The World, You Have To …

According to John Addison, "To be effective in the world, 
you have to carry within a core of untroubled calm, 
a sense of inner peace that is content in who you are,
with all your best intentions and all your imperfections. 
When you maintain that peaceful core within you, 
you can weather whatever storms are happening on the outside."

We all need peace in our lives. When we have peace within, 
then we can really, truly function on the outside.
Without peace, there can be no growth.
You can't think. You can't plan. You can't do.
And when you can't live a normal life, 
it is impossible to go for an extraordinary life.

To carry peace within you, you must pay attention to your thoughts.
Do peaceful things. Do small thing in a peaceful way.
Hang out with peaceful people. Read peaceful things.
And make sure that your mind is filled with peaceful thoughts.
Why? Because peaceful things come from peaceful thoughts.

To Start Something, Now Is The Time

Lunch it. Start it. Do not delay.
If you have been waiting for the 
perfect time to start your life, 
to lunch your rocket, stop waiting.

Because there is no perfect time to start anything.
Whatever you want to start, do not let fear cripple you.
Do not let fear be the thing that is 
standing between you and your dreams.

Now is the right time to do the right thing.

According to John Maxwell, "Now is the time to do something.
It 's okay to start even when you don't have all the answers.
Do what you know to do.
You don't need to know every step of the way.
There is no silver bullet. 
There is no perfect plan.
Focus on purpose, not perfection.
There is no standing still when it comes to making a difference."

Now is the time to start.
If you are scared of getting your hands dirty,
if you are afraid to start your business,
if you are afraid to take that course,
if you are afraid to make yourself available,
before you quit, ask yourself, "What is preventing me 
from following my dreams?"

Remember, if you want your dreams to come true,
dreaming is not enough. You must work.
You must follow through. Will you?
