Thoughts Are Things...

This is one of my favorite quotes I learned from who has become a very influential person in my life who I have been listening to on a daily basis on his website at MorningCoach.co

"Thoughts are things, belief will make them so, and actions solidify those beliefs" ~ JB Glossinger 

Taking action is critical because if we never take action we can never really move forward but the problem is that most people don't take action and never truly get in the game and never take risk.

Life has a risk-reward equation to it, you take a little bit of risk you get a little bit of reward, take a bigger risk get a bigger reward. We have to understand that balance and be able to step outside of our comfort zone. The issue is that we worry that something negative is going to happen or someone is going to say no or something negative.

Every time we take a risk or step outside of our comfort zone we are actually progressing forward. The more action we take, the more success we are going to have, and the better life is going to be.
