The plan
The secret of your success is determined by your daily agenda.
If you aim at nothing, you will hit it every time.
Work diligently. Diligently. Work patiently and persistently. Patiently and persistently. And you’re bound to be successful. Bound to be successful.
Stop researching every aspect of it and reading all about it and debating the pros and cons of it … Start doing it.
Clarity comes from action, not thought.
If you want to create something worthwhile with your life, you need to draw a line between the world’s demands and your own ambitions.
Making a decision, even a tiny decision, starts shedding light on ways to improve your life.
Any plan is better than no plan, and a good plan executed now is far better than a perfect plan executed too late.
There’s a myth that time is money. In fact, time is more precious than money. It’s a nonrenewable resource. Once you’ve spent it, and if you’ve spent it badly, it’s gone forever.
Action cures fear. Indecision, postponement, on the other hand, fuel fear.
Every moment waited is a moment wasted....
Once we commit to action, the worst thing we can do is to stop.
The smallest of actions is always better than the noblest of intentions.
Rule 1: The actions of confidence come first; the feelings of confidence come later.
If you're not happy today, then you won't be happy tomorrow unless you take things into your own hands and take action.
Your feelings don’t matter. The only thing that matters is what you DO.
If you start today to do the right thing, you are already a success even if it doesn’t show yet.
We must not sit down and wait for miracles. Up and be going!
Do.
It takes a plan to achieve anything of value. When you plan, you identify an end goal and then chart out neutral behaviors that can help you reach that goal.
You don't have to be great to start, but you have to start to be great.
Everything you want is out there waiting for you to ask. Everything you want also wants you. But you have to take action to get it.
Reality doesn't respond to my will or my wishes or my emotions...it is what I do that affects my world...You don't need to change how you feel about something to affect it.
We don't need to know everything about everything before putting our bodies in motion.
People with clear, written goals, accomplish far more in a shorter period of time than people without them could ever imagine.
A man of knowledge lives by acting, not by thinking about acting.
In a world where death is the hunter, my friend, there is no time for regrets or doubts. There is only time for decisions.
While some of us act without thinking, too many of us think without acting.
By acting, we make things concrete; action breeds motivation, not the other way around.
The key is not to prioritize what's on your schedule, but to schedule your priorities.
Small steps are an elegant approach to indecision. That’s because each of those small steps sends ripples out into the world. Your situation is never the same from day to day, because the world is in a dynamic state of flux. Once you take a small step you get new information and now you can consider the situation from a different perspective.
The biggest risk you can take is to do nothing at all, when you know there’s something you need to do.
Plans are only good intentions unless they immediately degenerate into hard work.
Unless commitment is made, there are only promises and hopes; but no plans.
To require perfection is to invite paralysis.
The enemy of creation is not uncertainty, it’s inertia.
Ideas have a short shelf life. You must act on them before the expiration date.
There is no reality except in action. Man is nothing else than his plan; he exists only to the extent that he fulfills himself; he is therefore nothing else than the ensemble of his acts, nothing else than his life.
The hardest part of any important task is getting started on it in the first place. Once you actually begin work on a valuable task, you seem to be naturally motivated to continue.
Do not wait: the time will never be 'just right'. Start where you stand, and work whatever tools you may have at your command and better tools will be found as you go along.
The longer you wait to do something you should do now, the greater the odds that you will never actually do it.
The real gap is between doing nothing and doing something.
The enemy of execution is complexity.
Genius is not enough; we need to get the job done.
You are in control of your priorities – you can erase old priorities and define new priorities at will.
Never forget this: It’s easier to change your mind and emotions by taking action than it is to change your actions by trying to think and feel differently.
Which brings us to the Pain Paradox of decision making that states the short-term easy leads to the long-term difficult, while the short-term difficult leads to the long-term easy.
The Principle of Priority states (a) you must know the difference between what is urgent and what is important, and (b) you must do what’s important first.
Here’s the bottom line: You already know all that you need to succeed. You don’t need to learn anything more. If all we needed was more information, everyone with an Internet connection would live in a mansion, have abs of steel, and be blissfully happy. New or more information is not what you need—a new plan of action is. It’s time to create new behaviors and habits that are oriented away from sabotage and toward success. It’s that simple.
The sure sign of an amateur is he has a million plans and they all start tomorrow.
The unconscious is asking the conscious mind to make a plan.
The Law of Forced Efficiency says, “There is never enough time to do everything, but there is always enough time to do the most important things.
The Law of Forced Efficiency says, “There is never enough time to do everything, but there is always enough time to do the most important things.
Your ability to think, plan, and work hard in the short term and to discipline yourself to do what is right and necessary before you do what is fun and easy is the key to creating a wonderful future for yourself.
All you need is the plan, the road map, and the courage to press on to your destination.
Start doing something, you'll continue.. why? Because motivation doesn't cause action. Action causes motivation.
A good plan, violently executed now, is better than a perfect plan next week.
By keeping the truly important things front and center, we often get the perspective we need to make better decisions.
The law of diminishing intent says that the longer you delay doing something, the less probability you have of actually doing it.
Things rarely get stuck because of lack of time. They get stuck because the doing of them has not been defined.
The beginning is half of every action.
The world can only be grasped by action, not by contemplation. The hand is more important than the eye. . . . The hand is the cutting edge of the mind.
Never forget that the mission is to accomplish your goal, not create a pretty plan for it.
Better an imperfect dome in Florence than cathedrals in the clouds.
