“Create a definite plan for carrying out your desire and begin at once, whether you are ready or not, to put this plan into action.”
~ Napoleon Hill
Someone told me the other day that you only get good at what you do, so if you do nothing then that’s what you’ll be good at. Now granted that he was telling me this in reference to the suicides that the guys in the gym had me doing yesterday but I’ve been thinking a lot about how this applies to a lot of things in our everyday lives. How many hours of the day do we waste doing nothing?
We spend time planning what we are going to do but then lay around trying to figure out how to carry out our plan. Why is it that we can’t just cut out all of the time we waste planning for months on end, instead just jumping right into action? Now of course there has to be a plan, so I’m not saying that planning in general is a waste. What I am saying is that sometimes we can get so completely wrapped up in the planning stages (and believe me, I do it all the time myself) that we seemingly become inactive.
We get excited about our plans and try to make sure that all the details of those plans are ironed out. But we only can be good at we do, so if we do nothing (but plan) then that is what we will continue to be good at. My message to you all today is to go take those plans that you’ve got hidden in your desk drawer, or tucked away in a box, or saved in a file that you don’t touch often, and put them into action. Until next time…Don’t just be someone who plans to make things happen!
