Conquering delay with discipline
Without action, plans are nothing but polished illusions. The graveyard is full of people who had amazing visions but never acted. Action is obedience. It is the proof of faith.
Quote:
Whatever your hand finds to do, do it with your might.
Ecclesiastes 9:10
I will act now.
I will repeat these words again and again and again.
When I awake I will say them and leap from my cot while the failure sleeps yet another hour.
I will act now.
When I enter the market place I will say them and immediately confront my first prospect while the failure ponders yet his possibility of rebuff.
I will act now.
When I face a closed door I will say them and knock while the failure waits outside with fear and trepidation.
I will act now.
When I face temptation I will say them and immediately act to remove myself from evil.
I will act now.
When I am tempted to quit and begin again tomorrow I will say them and immediately act to consummate another sale.
I will act now.
🚀 Only action determines my value in the market place and to multiply my value I will multiply my actions. I will walk where the failure fears to walk. I will work when the failure seeks rest. I will talk when the failure remains silent. I will call on ten who can buy my goods while the failure makes grand plans to call on one.This series features select excerpts from The Greatest Salesman in the World by Og Mandino—a timeless source of inspiration.
