Act Now

Many projects get scraped because of a person(s) inability to act.
Have you ever procrastinated or postponed a project? The longer you
put it off the harder it was to return to the project wasn’t it.

Today, I want to go over the power of acting now.

Acting Now
As a writer I tell other writers everyday. Write everyday. The more
you do something the more it becomes a part of who you are. There
is no time like the present to start that project.

Nothing is accomplished on the sidelines. It all happens on the playing
field.

"A beginning is a cause, and as such it must be followed by an effect,
or a train of effects, and the effect will always be of the same nature
as the cause. The nature of an initial impulse will always determine the
body of its results. A beginning also presupposes an ending, a consummation,
achievement, or goal." - Byways of Blessedness

Changes
Unfortunately, some people believe their schedules are more important than
their lives." David Leonhardt, as quoted in The Reader's Digest

Change starts by accessing where you are right now? The exercise that I gave
your to do yesterday will help you access this now. Remember the exercise
that I gave you to do yesterday? Grab it now so we can utilize your 10 most
important strengths and your 10 most important things in your life right now.

Here’s what mines looks like:

10 Most Important Strengths
Communication, Writing, Motivator, Analytical Focus, Adaptability, Leadership, Achiever, Positive, Strategic, Persuasive

10 Most Important Things in my Life now
Family, Health, Writing, Spirituality, Self Control, Self Confident, Abundance,
Influencing & Developing Others, Creativity, Learning

Now by utilizing my 10 strengths and 10 important things in my life now I
will set up 2 major changes in my life.

Develop an act now policy in your day to day activities.

Here are 2 changes I am making right now.

Writing 1-3 hours a day, five times a week (On vacation or not).
Spending more time with my family and doing more activities together

Tomorrow
Stop putting off what you can do today for tomorrow, or next week. What
you choose to do today will or will not be included in your obituary tomorrow.

Acting now changes tomorrow. So act now, while the going is good and
tomorrow will be greater than yesterday.
