The miracle isn’t that I finished. . .
The miracle is that I had the courage to start.

It’s never too late
to start living the life
you’ve always wanted to live, or
to start being the person
you’ve always wanted to be.

Last week I wrapped up my visit to sunny San Diego for S.P. Richards’ always magnificent “Advantage Business Conference” with hundreds of old and new friends. I challenged workshop participants to make sure that they took action on some of the ideas and information they picked up at the event, and I reminded them that the easiest way to fight procrastination is to stop trying to get it DONE and instead just take action to get it STARTED.
I dare you to do the same: choose some project, task, chore, or idea that you would like to get moving on and, well, START!
Peace,
Paul
