Have you ever felt frustrated that your life wasn’t going anywhere?

On the outside, things may look pretty good for you. You have checked all the boxes of what you are “supposed” to do in your life, but you still feel something is missing. As you go through the daily grind, you feel more stuck and more empty inside. You have dreams and goals, but the gap between where you are and where you want to go looks impossible to cross.

With that in mind, here are six rules for taking action to create the life you want. Refer to them often for motivation as you pursue your goals.

Action is Less Expensive Than Inaction
