This week’s quote is widely attributed to Mark Twain, although there is no evidence he actually ever said the words.
“The secret to getting ahead is getting started.”
Let me ask you a serious question: What one thing could you do in the next 24 hours that would have a significant impact on your life? The key word here is significant.
Again, what one thing could you do in the next 24 hours that would have a SIGNIFICANT impact on your life?
Did you come up with anything? If so, write it down. It doesn’t have to be something big, just significant, and achievable in the next 24 hours.
It could be simply making a decision to turn your life around, to go in a new direction, to make a significant change. It could be to sit down and take stock of your life, set some goals, plan for the future. It could be to reach out to family or friends and make plans to do something together. Whatever it is, it has to be something that would significantly impact your life in some positive way.
Have you thought of something yet? Have you written it down? If not, feel free to stop reading now and start it back up once you’re ready. Don’t take too long, I’m timing you.
Ok, so you should have, staring you right in the face, something you can accomplish in the next 24 hours that will have a significantly positive impact on your life.
Now here’s the real question: if you know this one thing would have a significant impact on your life, why haven’t you done it yet? You just admitted it would be significant and would take less than a day to accomplish. What are you waiting for? What are you afraid of? When are you going to get started?
You’re never going to get ahead if you don’t get started. You have 24 hours. Get moving!
