. How to Get a Grip on Your
Life, and Put All that You
Have Learned from this
Book into Action, Now!
. ink of all the good ideas you have come up with, thought out well,
believed in, planned, resolved to carry out... but did not. ink how much
more you could have done with your life if only you had acted on your own
good ideas or those of others. It may be good articles you could write, a
worthwhile campaign you could get going, expertise to develop in a specific
field, a business you could set up, new relationships to initiate, doing some-
thing important to improve your health, a valuable book you could write
and self-publish, or the implementation of a radical but super-effective
training strategy.. All of us, to varying degrees, realize but a small fraction of what we could
have had we invested the courage, gumption and persistence needed to make
a good idea happen in practice; and had we spent less time being interested
in the successes of others but more time focusing on making our own suc-
cesses.. Do not set yourself up for an old age tormented with, “I could have done
much more with my life, if only I’d been more of a doer, instead of a watcher,
thinker and procrastinator.” While probably everyone has regrets in their
old age, take measures now to ensure that you will have very few of them.. You can achieve far more than you think you can, in all walks of your life.
Almost everyone underestimates what they can do. Some people are mas-
ters in arguing against the carrying out of their own good ideas, and listen
too readily to people who have spent a lifetime suppressing their own poten-
tial.
