Just Do It

“No matter what our potential gifts or talents,

Only action brings them to life

Those of us who think we understand concepts,

Such as commitment, courage and love,

One day discover that we only know when we act;

Doing becomes understanding.”  

Dan Millman

I am really in a place of actioning what I have been preaching and philosophising about for a long, long time now.

I came to the realisation that I had to break my ties with apathy, fear, doubt and lethargy in order to catalyse my true potential.

To get what we want we have to move. It doesn’t matter which direction you move in, as long as you are moving. If you are not moving you cannot be redirected. You can only steer a ship that is already in motion. So, take action. Break the forces of inertia that pin you down.

Take a step, a leap or a crawl. It doesn’t matter how small the step. Just make a movement in the direction of your dreams, goals or aspirations.

Don’t allow fear to paralyse you and extinguish your passion. Ignore the inner voices that pessimistically caution you saying: “What if I fail? I may make a fool of myself. What will others think?”

Think about all you stand to lose by never taking the first step in the direction of your dreams.

 

Fear is not a reason to not do something. The only way for you to show you have courage is to act in spite of your fear. “Fear is a wonderful servant, but a terrible master.” Dan Millman

Thomas Edison spent years of his life attempting to invent the light bulb. At the age of 67 when his whole factory burnt down, Edison commented “There is great value in disaster. All our mistakes are burned up. Thank God we can start anew.” Edison never saw his unsuccessful attempts as failure. Unscathed by adversity he immediately stepped up to the plate and started rebuilding his factory and advancing forward. He had no idea how many more steps it would take to reach his goal, but he never quit trying and persevering until his objective was made manifest.

Take the risk. Act in the face of your fear and all the obstacles that lie in your path. Obstacles are just stepping stones to your success. Break out of your cobwebs and take the first step.You can do it. Just put one foot in front of the other. Don’t even think about it. JUST DO IT!

Have a great week
