wisdom

Consistency in action is an essential component of success.

Perhaps real wisdom lies in not seeking answers at all. Any answer we find will not be true for long. An answer is a place where we can fall asleep as life moves past us to its next question. After all these years I have begun to wonder if the secret of living well is not in having all the answers but in pursuing unanswerable questions in good company.

To achieve your dreams you must be willing to take massive action over a long period, even when there is no evidence of progress.

Although a decision is often viewed as the turning point, it is action that creates tangible results.

To achieve your dreams you must be willing to take consistent and improved action over a defined period.

The willingness to burn your ships, cut off all sources of retreat, and take decisive action is often the only assured path to success.

As an instinct told her which way to turn, her wisdom told her that it will be a long path to manifest.

Taking consistent action is guaranteed to increase the probability of your success. When combined with proper planning and perseverance, there are no heights you cannot attain.

You may spend much time and energy in preparation that you forget that the most important and essential step is action.

Action is where sacrifice is honoured and where you require persistence and courage to endure all that life throws in your direction.

It__ easy to play the victim card (all of us have done this), but this mindset is one of the greatest obstacles to progress and growth.

Accepting complete responsibility is the unsung character trait of those who find uncommon success, and failure to accept responsibility is a common trait of those who end up with a mediocre life.

One of the greatest obstacles to success is the belief is that your future is predetermined. It isn__. You decide the outcomes through your decisions and actions.

A mediocre idea acted on is of more value than a handful of brilliant ideas that remain in your mind.

Ideas and dreams are only valuable after they have been acted on.

If my friend asks me to sit in a temple belonging to a God that I do not know, because he needs a friend to sit with him, I will be happy to sit there in the foreign temple. Because the temple itself is an outer container only. What is the true religion? What is the inner oil contained by that outer container? The inner oil is the friendship I share with my friend. The true religion is being there to sit beside my friend. If I cannot do this for my friend, then how am I worthy to sit in any temple, whether belonging to a God that I know or to a God that I don't know? If there is no inner oil within my soul, I do not deserve to sit in any temple. Religion is the friendship within the heart, not the place where we sit on a holy day. Religion is the oil within the lamp, not the metal container we see as the lamp.

Waiting is often a decision not to accept responsibility and is one of the reasons why some people never reach their potential.

It__ difficult to accept full responsibility and apportion blame at the same time _ you have to choose one.
