Do it NOW! In delay there lies no plenty...

Og Mandino is one man that knows all about how powerful it is to just take action. It is in fact the central message in most of his bestselling books like The Greatest Salesman in The World. Og Mandino recognized the importance doing what you need to do and doing it now. Tomorrow never comes. What you fail to do right now will escape you forever for the magic is in this moment; the moment where the inspiration welled up. Taking consistent action is a habit of mind and like all habits you first form and shape it and in return the habit will shape you. You are ultimately the master of your own habits, especially the habits of mind that influence your thinking.


I will act now. I will act now. I will act now.

Henceforth, I will repeat these words each hour,
each day, everyday, until the words become as
much a habit as my breathing, and the action
which follows becomes as instinctive as the
blinking of my eyelids.

With these words I can condition my mind to
perform every action necessary for my success.
I will act now.

I will repeat these words again and again and again.
I will walk where failures fear to walk.
I will work when failures seek rest.
I will act now for now is all I have.

Tomorrow is the day reserved for the labour of the lazy.

I am not lazy.
Tomorrow is the day when the failure will succeed.
I am not a failure.
I will act now.
Success will not wait.

If I delay, success will become wed to another and
lost to me forever.

This is the time. This is the place. I am the person.
