Get Going!

Even if you’re on the right track, you’ll get run over if you just sit there — Will Rogers.

Well, then. That kind of just sucker punches you doesn’t it? It makes me want to get up from my desk and go do something. It’s so accurate it hurts.

You can be poised to take all your dreams by storm, you can be all set up and headed in the right direction, but if you’re not moving, you’re not going to get there. Even if you’ve got the best plan in the world, it does you no good if you’re not implementing it.

The secret to getting things done is to act!” — Dante Alighieri

He’s not lying either. The only way to get your goals accomplished is to work on them. You’re not getting anything done if you’re not doing anything.

Be not afraid of going slowly, be afraid only of standing still. — Chinese Proverb

That’s the only fear you should have. The only thing you need to be afraid of is being stagnate. If you’re working towards something, if you’re trying and striving and making little tiny baby steps, that’s better than not moving at all. Even if you can only do a little at a time, keep working at it, keep inching along that road. That will get you where you want to go eventually, standing still will get you nowhere.

This is your wake up call.

Don’t get run over. Stop sitting there. Act on it. Work at it, make it happen, no matter how long it takes.
