COUNT DOWN OF 50 OF THE BEST LIFE HACKS/MARGINAL GAINS FOR A BETTER FUTURE SELF #33

#33. Take Action

“Life is like a game of chess.  To win you have to make a move.” — Allan Rufus, The Master’s Sacred Knowledge

As Tony Robbins reminds us, “It’s not knowing what to do, it’s doing what you know.”

Our power is our ability to act.  

Exercise it.  

Life’s not static.  

Lead a life of action.

Taking action helps you deal with change.  

A lot of success in life is about reducing the gap between knowing what to do, and actually doing what you know. 

Taking action keeps you from wallowing in misery, and it helps build momentum.

If you’re worried that you missed the boat, remind yourself of this timeless Chinese proverb:
“The best time to plant a tree was 20 years ago. The second best time is now.”

#34. Focus on What You Control, and Let the Rest Go

 

Every time life feels out of control, remind yourself to focus on what you control.

And, let the rest go.

When you act on what you control, you build momentum.

More importantly,  when you exercise the things within your control, you remind yourself that you are powerful and resourceful.
