Often we get into a rut. We know we need to get moving with our goals, but we just can’t seem to get motivated. These 10 quotes really got me thinking and helped me take action.

The person who risks nothing, does nothing, has nothing, is nothing, and becomes nothing. — Leo F. Buscaqlia
The future depends on what you do today. ― Mahatma Gandhi
And things to think about as we procrastinate…
One of these days is none of these days” – H.G. Bohn
“You may delay, but time will not.” – Benjamin Franklin

In my own life, I have found that getting angry helps – anger at my own indecision and complacency. Get angry this week and do just one thing that moves you towards your goals. That will provide the encouragement to keep on moving.
I also feel that today, social media and web surfing have destroyed our ability to focus. There is great value to both of these, but we must be disciplined to restrict the time we spend doing them. Otherwise, nothing of any importance can get accomplished.
