Stop Talking About It And Do Something

In the category of human achievement there are many antidotes, words of wisdom, and quotes from famous people, some long gone, and some still living. But rather than merely reciting these cool phrases, and motivational hot buttons, perhaps you should stop talking about it all, stop sitting in committees, stop proposing "what if's", and just write down what you have so far, and commit to doing something about it. It's easy to get ready, to take aim, to go back and get ready again, but sometimes it is most important to just pull the trigger; to start.

You can't win if you never try, and talk is cheap in business, talk is cheap and sports, Diaplex about the only thing talk is good for is the courtroom or the political podium. If you are a politician, perhaps you can keep on talking yourself into a higher office, or if you are a lawyer maybe you can convince the jury that you actually have the better argument for the case. But if you are someone who would like to achieve something in your life, something worthy, then isn't it about time you go out and do something?

Now then, we both know all the quotes off the top of our heads, and we know all the slogans such as; go for it, or just do it. And yet those words and phrases don't mean anything if you don't take action. Look, I run a think tank okay, and people come to me all day long with ideas, concepts, and even inventions, and I never know what industry they will be in, but generally there's always an excuse why the individual, group, or business did not act on their innovation.

What good is a great idea sitting on a sketch pad, or on the back burner in the back of your mind, or sitting on a white board with a 20 person committee brainstorming and shouting out ideas, if you are never going to act on a single one of them - tell me that question - or don't tell me, let me tell you. It is no good, it's worthless, it's junk. If you don't do something about it will never happen.

If you want to achieve anything in life you've got to get out and do it, you've gotta want it, you have to care, you have to set your sites, and you have to start. Indeed, rather than me continue this article and harp on something you already know to be true, let me end this article right now, and you get off the Internet, stop clowning around, get off your butt, and go do it. That's all I have to say.
