No great deed is done by falterers who ask for certainty.

Do the difficult things while they are easy and do the great things while they are small. A journey of a thousand miles must begin with a single step.

Is fear preventing you from taking action? Acknowledge the fear, watch it, take your attention into it, be fully present with it. Doing so cuts the link between the fear and your thinking. Don’t let the fear rise up into your mind. Use the power of the Now. Fear cannot prevail against it.

To complain is always nonacceptance of what is. It invariably carries an unconscious negative charge. When you complain, you make yourself into a victim. When you speak out, you are in your power. So change the situation by taking action or by speaking out if necessary or possible; leave the situation or accept it. All else is madness.

It is even better to act quickly and err than to hesitate until the time of action is past.

Sometimes if you want to see a change for the better, you have to take things into your own hands.
