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 one’s 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 Goethe’s 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 people’s 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 simply 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 BOLDLY 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!
“For every disciplined effort there is a multiple reward.”
Jim Rohn
