DAY 18
The
Genius, Power, and Magic of Boldness
Please
read carefully these words from W.H. Murray, from The Scottish Himalayan
Expedition:
"Until
one is committed, there is hesitancy, the chance to draw back, always
ineffectiveness. Concerning all acts of initiative (and creation) there
is one elementary truth, the ignorance of which kills countless ideas
and splendid plans: that the moment one definitely commits oneself,
then Providence moves too. All sorts of things occur to help one that
would never otherwise have occurred. A whole stream of events issues
from the decision, raising in ones favor all manner of unforeseen
incidents and meetings and material assistance, which no man could have
dreamed would have come his way. I have learned a deep respect for one
of Goethes couplets: Whatever you can do, or dream you can, begin
it. Boldness has genius, power and magic in it."
In order
to accomplish any of your dreams or goals, you must take forceful, decisive
action. The affirmations we have been doing are wonderful tools for
expanding your consciousness and putting you in a psychological state
to motivate you towards the type of life you want, but power is easily
eroded by lethargy and apathy. You must take action. Whatever
it is you want to do, you must do it with true emotional commitment.
This means taking risks, being fearless, and persevering.
Most peoples
most serious regret in life comes from not having taken the risk to
try something they truly wanted to do. If true financial prosperity
is what you desire, you must take the psychological principles you have
been learning and apply this knowledge to your daily life with bold,
committed action.
You need
to realize the truth behind all that we have been learning: you are
naturally, effortlessly evolving into a human being who gratefully expresses
his/her creative energy into the world and receives the physical, abundant
rewards from this activity. The universe is on your side. If you fail
at one thing, you learn valuable lessons for your next adventure. If
you keep at it, you will inevitably create the type of life you desire.
GO FOR IT! DO IT NOW!
Take five
minutes right now and feel the truth of these words:
I WILL
TAKE ACTION NOW. I WILL NO LONGER WAIT FOR CONDITIONS TO PLEASE ME AND
I WILL NO LONGER FEAR FAILURE. I WILL BOLDY TAKE ACTION AND I WILL INEVITABLY
SUCCEED.
TAKE
ACTION: What is the most important action you need to take in your
life that you have been putting off? Have you wanted to start a business?
Quit smoking? Exercise regularly? Whatever it is, I urge you to start
right now. Decide to stop procrastinating. You know that you must take
this action or you will never be satisfied, so start right now!

OF THE DAY: For every disciplined effort there is a multiple
reward. -- Jim Rohn
