Success and Inaction Both Come With a Price
“We must all suffer from one of two pains; the pain of
discipline or the pain of regret. The difference
is discipline weights ounces while
regret weights tons.”
Jim Rohn 1930 - 2009, American Entrepreneur,
Self-Author and Motivational Speaker
As I see it. . . . . . . .
Success and inaction both come with a
price.
Inaction is making the decision to
procrastinate . . . . the price of procrastination is paid over a life time.
Procrastination is making a choice . . .
. the choice that is made is the choice of inaction which is to take the action
is choosing not to act. The price of inaction is enormous and is carried
forward in the form of pain in living a life of regret for the things that we
did not do and in the lost opportunities.
Taking action to succeed . . . . takes
self-confidence in your decision making and in your abilities. You also have to
have the mental discipline to take calculated risks . . . . and to make
choices.
In taking action some of your choice
will create breakthrough opportunities in your life. While others may have very
little impact on your success journey, and there will be those that you would
like to forget.
Failing to take action subordinates the
action to someone else to make the decision for you. You will lose the ability
to make your own choices and to choose your actions.
When it’s
time to take action . . . . you have to step up . . . . and take the best
actions possible in the conditions that we find yourself in.
The pain of
regret for your inaction is carried forward . . . . and can become emotionally
draining.
The
discipline of making choices and taking action has a price. But there is peace
of mind that you’re in control of your choices . . . . your actions . . . . and
your future.
Success and
inaction both come with a price . . . . you pay for your success in advance.
You paid for your inaction over a life time.
