Actions Speak Louder than Words

Ok, so I read and I write and I talk. While all this is well and good and necessary, it doesn't amount to squat unless it means I actually DO something.

"A little less conversation, a little more action please" - Elvis

So, I realize that my reading and writing process is winding down and if I want it to count for something I need to figure out how this will translate into me doing something. So, I know the specific things that I will be reading and taking notes on in the coming week, however my process needs to be different. Rather than taking lifeless notes, I am going to write the notes as an action plan. In fact, if it can't be translated into action, I may as well not even take the note.

I am a little annoyed at myself for not doing this all along, but you live and learn. In the process of trying to change your life, you actually must do SOMEthing. Anything. Failed attempts are infinitely greater than a non-existent attempt.  So, from now on, if it something inspiring doesn't include a way for me to carry it out, it should just be thrown out with the rest of the useless garbage. I need to get Nike on my ass and JUST DO IT!
