Awaken Your Day - The First Step

“The common conception is that motivation leads to action, but the reverse is true – action precedes motivation. You have to ‘prime the pump’ and get the juices flowing, which motivates you to work on your goals. Getting momentum going is the most difficult part of the job, and often taking the first step…is enough to prompt you to make the best of your day.”

- W. Clement Stone

Hmm, taking the first step….is the hardest part….and gets you going… motivated….
I have heard this before.

What do you think my chances are of taking all the credit for that one?

It is funny, that thought did cross my mind before I ever read Mr. Stone having said it. I had been lucky enough to discover how that was my biggest problem, taking the first step. Coming across Mr. Stone’s comment and seeing how it matched what I thought of myself, now makes me feel like I am on the right track.

Taking the first step. Overcoming the obstacles of Fear and Worry – maybe Doubt. Above all obstacles, you have to be the one to act, and move forward.

Believe in You.
And find your first step, your beginning.
You have started a goal.
You have started a task.
You,
Have Awakened Your Day.

With the most difficult part BEHIND you, the momentum is yours.

Good Morning, Greater Day. Greater You - Step by Step after the first.
