Stop all that Dreaming. Start Doing

Are you ready to stop dreaming and start doing?

It’s easy to become a habitual planner.  For years I prided myself on my elite organizational skills, my keen strategic planning, my penchant for detailed to-do lists.  And then one day I realized ten years had gone by and most of my great plans had yet to materialize.  That’s when it hit me…

I wasn’t really planning at all… I was just dreaming.  And worst, I was working very hard at disguising those dreams as “plans.”  Once I woke up to that fact, I realized I needed to stop dreaming, and start doing.

A Replacement Strategy for Winners

Don't just stop what you're doing, replace it with something better.

"Hey, doc, it hurts when I do this..."
"Well, son, DON'T do that!"

Funny joke, but incomplete when trying to apply it in life.  It is not sufficient nor beneficial to simply stop an undesired behavior (nor likely to be successful if it's a deeply entrenched habit)... you must replace your actions with something else that can fill the void.
