"It is my position that the author of our (life) stories is actually us. Perhaps the single greatest paradigm shift I’ve had as a human being is this idea: I am writing my story and I alone have the responsibility to shape it into something meaningful."
— Donald Miller, Hero on a Mission
"Heed the most important lesson of this book: You control your behavior. Your success is your personal responsibility. Take action. Do the first things first. Do what matters even if you don’t feel like it. Get up and give your number one priority the focus it deserves for at least fifteen minutes every morning. Your morning victories start with preparing properly the night before. You must have a plan in place to take action the next morning. The earlier you rise, the fewer opposing forces to your self-control, and the more momentum you’ll have to overcome the inertia of procrastination."
— Craig Ballantyne, The Perfect Day Formula
“Inaction breeds doubt and fear. Action breeds confidence and courage. If you want to conquer fear, do not sit at home and think of it. Go out and get busy.”
- Dale Carnegie
"Every single thing you want in life is on the other side of something you don’t want to do."
- Sahil Bloom
"Anytime you are in the presence of adversity, ask yourself, ‘What is the one thing I can do that could make this better?’ Force yourself to give a substantive answer. (“I don’t know” is not an answer that will help.) You do not need perfection; all you need is improvement. Keep asking yourself the question until your problem is no longer an issue."
— Jason Selk, 10 Minute Toughness
“I’ll repeat something you might consider tattooing on your forehead: What we fear doing most is usually what we most need to do.”
- Tim Ferriss
"Finish something. Anything. Stop researching, planning, and preparing to do the work and just do the work. It doesn’t matter how good or how bad it is. Stop debating what you should make and just make something."
- James Clear
"A goal without a plan is just a wish. A plan without action is just a dream."
- Brian Tracy, Focal Point
"Goal setting provides focus, shapes our dreams and gives us the ability to hone in on the exact actions we need to take in order to get everything in life we desire."
- Jim Rohn, The Jim Rohn Guides Complete Set
"Remember The Law of Diminishing Intent—the longer you wait to take action after feeling inspired, the less likely you are to actually do something."
- Jim Rohn, Leading an Inspired Life
"Dynamic people take more actions in one morning than most people take in a month. The goal is to take many more actions in a given time period than you normally do. Start slowly, try to take even just two actions in a day and increase from there."
- Phil Stutz, Lessons for Living
"Each time you start and complete a task, of any size, you get a burst of energy, enthusiasm, and self-esteem. You feel better about yourself. You feel happier. Your brain releases endorphins, nature’s ‘happy drug,’ and you feel more creative, more calm, more confident, and more personable toward others."
- Brian Tracy, Master Your Time, Master Your Life
"Do what needs to be done, when it needs to be done, whether you feel like it or not."
- David Horsager, The Trust Edge
