It’s easy to make bold proclamations regarding your goals.
It’s easy to tell us how you’re going to change the world.
It’s easy to say, “I love you.”
And it’s easy to say what you’re going to do tomorrow, next week or next year.
Because talk is cheap.
And I should know, because for most of my life I’ve talked a good game, but consistently failed to deliver.
You see, talk is cheap, but action costs you something.
It costs you time.
It costs you energy.
And it demands that you make a sacrifice.
But it’s action that will turn your bold proclamations into phenomenal results.
It’s action that will change the world.
It’s action that will prove your love.
And it’s action that will turn today, tomorrow, next week and next year into milestones of success.
What do you need to take action towards today?

The sounds of your words ring so true Darren. In a blink of an eye, the calendar has added seven more days to its existence. Cliche as it might be – time waits for no man, woman, boy, or girl. I’ve come to realize over various phases in my life, that it’s more exhausting to complain about what’s not getting done than it is to actually do it! As of late, I’ve committed myself to setting daily, weekly, and monthly goals – realistic and obtainable goals. This allows me to prepare myself mentally, physically, emotionally, and at times, spiritually. Setting boundaries holds me accountable for my actions, thus my task get completed in a timely manner. Does this methodology work for all of my goals? Of course not. That’s why knowing how to forgive yourself is essential. We don’t have to be so hard on ourselves. Learn to love yourself – appreciate your strengths and accept your weaknesses. We’re all a work in progress!
