Someday Isle

I read the following article yesterday and it deeply moved me. I'm sure I'm not the only one who is guilty of living on this Island. This week's email follows a slightly different format as the below article is too good not to share.... Enjoy!

"Everybody wants to achieve great goals. They want to be happy, healthy, thin, rich, attractive, financially independent. We all want the same things. But what happens is people decide I want these things but before they start they decide they want to take a vacation and they go to a wonderful place called Someday Isle. And on Someday Isle they say someday I'll lose some weight and someday I'll take that course and someday I'll finish it, and someday I'll send out that letter and someday I'll save some money, and someday I'll get out of debt. And who are they surrounded by on this wonderful fantasy land? Other people who are on Someday Isle. And what all these people day in and day out do is think of excuses. They think of reasons why not to get started. And this is what we've found is that successful people take action, and unsuccessful people take vacations on the island. So I'm going to give you the first secret of success today; it is vote yourself off the island, for life. No more Someday Isle. If you get an idea today, tomorrow, yesterday, if you get an idea take action on it now. Move now, move quickly. Because 95% of your success or failure in life is determined by your habits. And anything that you do repeatedly over and over again becomes a new habit. So therefore if you develop the habit of moving quickly and with focus and purpose, you become a completely different person than people who develop the habit of going to the island before they take any action." ~ Brian Tracy

May you have an awesome week!
