Habit of Doing Something Now
“AMONG the other things you intend to “cut out” in your New Year’s resolution, include the word (Impossible!)” Napoleon Hill
“I have accumulated nothing but experience and knowledge and a few debts, and the reason, while it may not be sound, is easily explained. The truth is that I have been so busy all these years in trying to eliminate some of my own ignorance so I could intelligently gather and organize the data that have gone into the Law of Success philosophy, that I have had neither the opportunity nor the inclination to turn my efforts to making money.” Said Napoleon
Then the words hit him and he thought, “I had made one of the most embarrassing admissions of my life; I had laid my soul bare, admitting temporary defeat at almost every cross-road which I had passed in my struggles, and I had capped all this off by admitting that an exponent of the Law of Success was, himself, a temporary failure!
How incongruous it seemed! I felt stupid, humiliated and embarrassed as I sat in front of the most searching pair of eyes and the most inquisitive man I had ever met.
The absurdity of it all came over me like a flash – THE PHILOSOPHY OF SUCCESS, CREATED AND BROADCASTED BY A MAN WHO WAS OBVIOUSLY A FAILURE!
This thought struck me so forcibly that I expressed it in words.”
“No man is a failure who creates a single idea, much less an entire philosophy, that serves to soften the disappointments and minimize the hardships of generations yet unborn.”
How many of you are waiting until you have enough knowledge to complete a task, Waiting until you finish (or start) that degree, waiting until you’ve finished this great biik that has all the answers. The truth is if you keep waiting for the right time it’ll never arrive. It’s always today, NOW in fact, tomorrow never comes. So whatever you can do today to get yor self ahead wil be better than waiting until tomorrow.
20min walk today is better than an hour walk you keep putting off because you don’t have the time. One page of your novel is better than a 3000 word session. Taking your kids to the park for 10 mins is better than not. So what ever it is you have been putting off until the perfect time. -Stop and do it now. Or a least do a part of it now. You’ll feel so much better for it.
