Keep taking Action.

Action, any action, is an invitation for success. Even if the results are not as you had intended, you are well on your way to forging a more effective path to your goal.  Sometimes the best way to determine the appropriate direction is to move in a chosen direction and evaluate the outcome. The results will dictate the success of your choice. The worst thing that might happen is that you are clear that your choice was not the best choice. The results will be instrumental in helping you define an effective strategy no matter what the outcome.

It is easy to get caught up in the "perfection game," waiting for the "right" time to move. The truth is that you will never truly know if the time is right until you experience the outcome of your choice.  Success always involves risk; nothing is guaranteed except for your growth (if you choose to accept it as part of the process). Life is precious with little time to waste.  Take some time today to look at your goal.  Let's suppose that the "right" moment never comes.  What is the cost of NOT doing anything? What might you gain if you were to move now and succeed?

Success or sabotage? What are you willing to do TODAY to move a step closer toward your goal? Wouldn't you rather fail in the attempt rather than remain paralyzed in speculation?

Is this going to be an incredible day?  What commitment is required for you to make it so?
