    Thanks for sharing this. Lots of people, me included, read, study, and think about lots of different things and take little action on any of them. Much better to commit to one thing and take lots of action on it.

    So true - and after you have done this a few times, it becomes a habit instead of an exception.

    The most important part (in my experience) in putting these 3 principles into action is the notion of "blackmailing" yourself into total belief that you will succeed even though you haven't figured it all out yet.

    Doubt is the arch enemy of progress...working on your own self confidence and learning to "program" your mind into total belief in your success is the key.

    Thank you Joe Mobley...

    Nice quote on the same token of "Burn your ships" from ‘Think and Grow Rich’ by Napoleon Hill.
    However Perry´s quote is more update and warrior like. It has more guts.

    Sometimes you just have to jump and learn "on the go" because life is too short.
    You never will have all planets aligned to get a perfect day or situation.

        Focus...action....persistence...

        Focus...zero in on a game plan...

        Action....start doing this...

        Persistence...never quit...

        To me...this is the formula that works...on a consistent basis...

        Different strokes for different folks...we're all different...

        So go with what works for you...
