One-Way Ticket, Please

Action is the ONLY way to success.

That's right - even the best laid plans are worthless if you never get off your butt and do anything. I'm right in the middle of a simple program that reminds me every day to FOCUS only on what I intend to accomplish. the result is that I virtually fly through my to-do list.

Yep, it's true. And it's fun. Believe me, it's way more fun to make a plan and see yourself actually making progress rather than drown in a sea of pointless to-do list items.

Some of us are great planners, adn others are great doers. To truly achieve success, you must be a great planner and a great doer. If you're thinking that's not your natural talent, you're in luck because...

YOU CAN LEARN.

Every successful man and woman in history will tell you that they never stop learning. "Learn something new every day" is one of my favorite mottos. Learning is your one-way ticket to success.

We were not put here on this earth to wither away into dust. We were not put here to accept a life of mediocrity. We were not created to "survive."

On the contrary, our ultimate destiny is to soar like eagles. To inspire each other to great achievements. To thrive and continually improve ourselves and our world.

Are you thriving or merely surviving?

Even all those affected by Hurricane Katrina have a choice whether they will thrive or merely survive. Those who do not belive they have a choice are in the worst mind-set of all.

But they too can change.

However, before we worry too much about trying to get others to change, we must take a look at our own lives.

Are we thriving?
Are we soaring?
Are we setting powerful, meaningful goals?
Are we surrounding ourselves with an environment that supports progress?
Are we moving towards our targets daily?
Are we taking action?

Excellent questions. But I can only answer these for myself, same as you.

Here's another question for you:

What are you waiting for? Are you thriving, or is life passing you by? When will you get busy living the life of your dreams?
