Quote of the Week

Mar 1, 2010

Take Action:

Without action…dreams are only dreams.

I think there are instances when many of us get caught up in the planning process of our dreams. I know I do this on occasion. nature150 Quote of the Week

After so much planning, I think at times I’m almost afraid to take the next step and put the plan into motion. What if the reality doesn’t work out to be as good as the plan?

Worth the Risk

Fortunately I’ve come to realize, I’d rather put a plan into action and feel the disappointment of it not working…than deal with the regret of having never tried. After all, sometimes the result is even better than I could have dreamed.

But every once in a while I still need a reminder. The following quote was just what I needed today. Hope you enjoy. Have a fantastic week!

Dreams are fulfilled only through action, not through endless planning to take action.

so it took me three years to plan for grad school! so i know
the feeling of the quote. Like you it took a lot to make the
next step, mostly because I was scared of rejection
but you just have to take that leap and make dreams come true

I couldn’t agree more. I have a tendency to collect infor-
mation endlessly. I’ve realized, over time, that it’s simply
a way of protecting myself against failure: “gee, if I only had
one more piece of information…” I was simply sabotaging my
HAPPINESS.
