Life Law #5: Life Rewards Action

Your Strategy: Learn that the world couldn't care less about thoughts without actions.

People don't care about your intentions. They care about what you do. Commit to measure your life and its quality based on results, not intentions.

"You are your job!!"

As you evaluate your life in the areas in which you feel moved to take action, recognize that you have to seize the opportunities when they present themselves, and create them when they do not.

How much time do I have left?

"There ain't no dress rehearsal." Time is relentless. It is the one resource that you cannot regenerate. The life you have now, the one you are living, is the only one that you have been awarded. Every moment that you fail to take purposeful action is another moment wasted.

The time-honored formula for taking purposeful action goes like this:
Be
Do
Have

BE committed, DO what it takes, and you will HAVE what you want.

Your knowledge, insights, and understandings are of no value without action.

The difference between winners and losers is that winners do things losers don't want to do. To have what you want, you have to do what it takes.
