Immediate action

When you decide to do it, begin to do it. Give substance to your commitment by acting on it right away.

Intention is powerful, and yet there's something your intention must have in order to survive. That something is real, solid action.

Make your choice, and then immediately give power to it by taking the first step toward it. There is always something you can do right away.

When you act, you seal the commitment. When you act, you create momentum.

The way to make sure you stay in motion is to get yourself in motion right away. When the reason for your decision is still fresh in your mind, give power to that decision by acting on it.

Accomplishment occurs when you go beyond merely thinking about it. Get up, get going, get moving and you will indeed get it done.
