There are lots of dreamers in the world and dreams are a good thing, but if all you do is dream, you’ll never realize your goals.

Action is the precursor to success.

Becoming a success and achieving your dreams requires hard work – and action. Don’t let fear keep you from starting. You must take the responsibility to ensure your dreams come to pass.

Thomas Edison is remembered as a great inventor, but before he invented the things we remember, he invented a lot of things that failed. Abraham Lincoln was one of our most famous Presidents, but he suffered many failures in his life as well. Before Babe Ruth set the record for home runs, he struck out many times.

Likewise, we must set up to the plate and take our best swing if we hope to succeed.

I’m sure Babe Ruth got free “walks” many times – but that was because he was such a great hitter that the pitchers were afraid to let him bat. Most of us don’t get things dropped in our laps, we have to work for them.

Don’t Procrastinate!

How many people do you know who’s frequent answer is “I’ll do it later”, when all you ever see them actually do is sit around on the couch, or take long naps, or maybe, if they’re the active type – go off and play a round of golf.

Taking action to realize their goals?

Oh, no, “I’ll do it later”.

Don’t blow your chances at success by loafing around on the coach.

Your dreams are important to you, but the only way to realize them and realize success in life that you both want and deserve is to get up off the couch and take some action.

To no one’s amazement, one of the consequences of Jesse’s less than optimal employment history was the fact that he was without much money most of the time.

Despite Jesse’s irresponsible work history and financial mismanagement, conversely, in some way he made it his business to drink in a hazardous and excessive manner almost everyday.

To support this assertion, the judge quoted some honored, highly researched alcohol statistics that underlined some of the demoralizing results that are linked to hazardous and irresponsible drinking.
