Check out the following exchange that happened between my daughters at dinner a few nights ago: Little Twin -” Z pass me that.” Big Twin – “No, if you really want it, you go get it. If you want to succeed you have to get it for yourself.”

As this exchange shows, if you want to take action now, you must go for it, you must find what it is that makes you move towards your goals and accomplishing your plan. Keep in mind that you learn from anyone and anything how to get things done. The church girl in me is reminded of the story of God using the rocks to cry out. If the rocks can cry out, then your neighbor, your kids, or even the crazy co-worker down the hall may have a method to take action now that may work for you.
