It is never too late if you do something

"If a friend is in trouble, don't annoy him by asking if there is anything you can do. Think up something appropriate and do it."

“Everything comes too late for those who only wait.” - Elbert Hubbard

“The time for action is now. It's never too late to do something.” - Antoine de Saint-Exupery

“Better late than never, but never late is better.”

“So what do we do? Anything. Something. So long as we just don't sit there. If we screw it up, start over. Try something else. If we wait until we've satisfied all the uncertainties, it may be too late.” - Lee Iacocca

“Life's tragedy is that we get old too soon and wise too late” - Benjamin Franklin

“Whatever you think you can do or believe you can do, begin it. Action has magic, grace and power in it.” - Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

"Every difficulty postponed becomes greater later. Each victory makes the next one easier."

If you're too old now to learn, you always were. It's seldom too late to become what we might have been. Many are doing it after 60. Thousands over 50 are starting projects that fellows under 40 put off and neglected because they were too old to finish. A son said to his father: "If I start medical school now, I'll be 37 in 1945 when I finish." Father: "And how old will you be in 1945 if you don't start now?"

Have you yet found yourself and a worthy goal? If not, it's later than you think.

If you have a dream, you have everything that matters. If you have no dream, it's later than you think. Better get one.

Frequent Self check is necessary

“The great thing in the world is not so much where we stand, as in what direction we are moving.” - Oliver Wendell Holmes

Tony Robbins says: "The past does not predict the future - unless you live in it".

That last part - "unless you live in it" is the key - because we all do. Somehow, many still have not come to the realization of this fact. We may not make any good progress until we had truly decided to change for the better.

Dale E. Turner says: “Some of the best lessons we ever learn are learned from past mistakes. The error of the past is the wisdom and success of the future.”

That's true. However, make sure you got get rid of all painful and damaging thoughts that entrap you. Forgive and love yourself and let go of the past and learn to live in the now.

“Do not dwell in the past, do not dream of the future, concentrate the mind on the present moment.” - Buddha

“He who moves not forward, goes backward” - Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

“We all want progress, but if you're on the wrong road, progress means doing an about-turn and walking back to the right road; in that case, the man who turns back soonest is the most progressive.” - C.S. Lewis

Action generates inspiration

"Motivation is the fuel, necessary to keep the human engine running." - Zig Ziglar

We all need someone or something to inspire us to bring out our best. Nevertheless, genius is one percent inspiration and 99% perspiration.

The great composer doesn't work because he's inspired. He's inspired because he works. Action generates inspiration ten times for every time inspiration generates action.

“We should be taught not to wait for inspiration to start a thing. Action always generates inspiration. Inspiration seldom generates action.” - Frank Tibolt

Use it or lose it

"Yesterday's the past and tomorrow's the future. Today is a gift. That's why we call it the present." - Spencer Johnson

"Every morning you are handed twenty-four golden hours. They are one of the few things in this world you get free of charge. If you had all the money in the world, you couldn't buy an extra hour."

“Time is more valuable than money. You can get more money, but you cannot get more time.” - Jim Rohn

Don't procrastinate

"Procrastination is the thief of time." - Edward Young

"Procrastination is like a credit card: it's a lot of fun until you get the bill." - Christopher Parker

"Work expands so as to fill the time available for its completion." - Parkinson's Law

"Putting off an easy thing makes it hard. Putting off a hard thing makes it impossible." - George Claude Lorimer

"Waiting is a trap. There will always be reasons to wait... The truth is, there are only two things in life, reasons and results, and reasons simply don't count." - Robert Anthony

The best way to get something done is to begin.

Never wait for the proper mood to start a thing, nor until the spirit moves you. Make your own mood. Move your own spirit. How? ACT. Do something - anything. Inspiration seldom generates action. Action always creates inspiration.

A Good Ending

Great beginnings are not as important as the way one finishes.

Better is the end of a thing than its beginning.

We rate ability in men by what they finish, not by what they attempt.

“A hard beginning maketh a good ending.” - John Heywood

“Nobody can go back and start a new beginning, but anyone can start today and make a new ending.” - Maria Robinson

Find your strength and act promptly

Motivation is what gets you started.
Habit is what keeps you going. - Jim Rohn

What is your motivation?
It can be money, fame, purpose, commitment or contribution. Whatever it is, it helps to have a goal that drives you.

“Every accomplishment starts with the decision to try.”

Elbert Hubbard said "It isn't more book learning we need, or instructions about this or that, but a strengthening of the backbone, to act promptly, to get going to do the thing we know we ought to do."

Is it time to make your own decision?

"If you don't design your own life plan, chances are you'll fall into someone else's plan. And guess what they have planned for you? Not much." - Jim Rohn

A good plan today is better than a perfect plan tomorrow.

Don't wait! - Start now

A journey of a thousand miles must begin with a single step. - Lao-Tsu

To win, BEGIN. All winning starts with beginning. The hardest part is always the start. A thing begun is more than half done.

Beginning - taking the first step, generates momentum, the emotional energy, the inner urge - motivates you to take another step, then another, and another. That momentum, once started will continued until your task is done."

Most failures are caused by not realizing the power of momentum -- getting started.

Home-made degree D.I.N.

That home-made degree D.I.N. (do it now) has turned more little shots into big shots than any college degree. And that self-made habit, P.T.O. (putting things off) holds more people back than sickness, lack of brains, lack of capital and opportunities combined.

Do important jobs now before they become urgent.

A good slogan: Learn how and do now.

Be Decisive

You don't have to wait for permission to do the right thing. Be decisive. Take the initiative. Get the facts. Do it now.

Indecision is often worse than wrong action. Indecision is fatal. It is better to make a wrong decision than build up a habit of indecision. Indecision breeds doubt. We never feel safe with a leader not sure of himself.

The most common source of mistakes in management decisions is the emphasis on finding the right answer rather than the right question.
