Daily you are expending energy. All too often, that energy is being used up to stop you from taking action.

To make the most of each moment, you have to step out there and take action. It doesn’t require more of an energy expenditure to get up and go, than it does to sit and fret or worry but not do anything. You are just spending your energy differently. You’re going to burn energy one-way or another. How you choose to spend it (proactively or worrying) is your choice.

All too often, we waste our time and our energy in making excuses or thinking about limitations. We could instead be expending that same energy to create value.

It actually takes more mental energy to generate fear, then it does to create a plan. Instead of wasting energy on anxiety and procrastination, let yourself go! Free yourself from those barriers that are blocking your creativity and gifts. You have the value to share that no one else can exactly like you do.

There is an acronym for fear—False Evidence Appearing Real. Not that all fears are unfounded, but most do have a component that has been enhanced by your imagination. Fear is a negative projection into the past or the future. Break free from those scary images and self talk.

With the same amount of energy you would expend scaring yourself, you can create a spectacular today. When you focus on the positive and detach from the negative your mind goes to work to create a better life.

Make a deal with yourself today, to energize the possibilities in your life instead of the barriers.

Right now is all there is. Are you spending it in a way that is beneficial to your future? Take a chance. Step up. There are all are only two seconds that are important—this one, and the next one to come. Go for what you want—beginning now!
