It is not easy to be strong and take action now to get things done, but you must do it. You may need to tell yourself to do it over and over again each day.

If you need help, check out my book, “Take Action Now and Get Things Done.” It is full of ideas, examples, and stories to help you as you get stronger and better at taking action now and getting things done. The book is available as an ebook and in paperback for your convenience.
It is scary to take action now, but be strong, you can do it.
If we are going to be honest, we must admit that there is something comfortable about planning to do something “Someday.” Since Someday is not a real day, it doesn’t matter if we never actually do what we plan. It is easy to push things off to the side if they are not due today, but are due Someday. When we wake up on Tuesday morning and see we have three tasks assigned for that day, there is a subtle, yet real pressure to do get those tasks done. There is no real pressure to get things done that are assigned to Someday.
It takes a certain amount of bravery to push forward and take action now to get things done. Doing so can really can be scary. The bigger the dream, the goal or the plan, the scarier it can be. This is a reality. There is no point in ignoring the fear or even pretending it doesn’t exist. Neither of those things lessens the fear. Neither of those things makes the fear any less real. If fear is what is stopping you from taking action now to get things done, admit it. Admit it to yourself. Admit that you are scared. Admit that you are very scared to take action now and get things done. Then channel your inner superhero and get moving.

One of the best qualities that children have is the ability to pretend to be superheroes. If you give a kid a chance to be a superhero, a kid will put on a pretend cape and then imagine herself flying over tall buildings. She will see through concrete walls and beat up every villain she encounters. Once a kid pretends she is a superhero, there is nothing she cannot take action now and accomplish. If you are afraid to take action now and get things done, you can become brave by finding a way to pretend you are a superhero.
Don’t try to make logical sense of the notion. Instead, just pull on your imaginary superhero costume and start doing what needs to be done. If the idea of a superhero doesn’t give you the bravery you need, find another method. Pick a woman you admire and channel her. The woman can be someone you know in the real world like a friend, mentor or relative. The woman can be a character in a book or television show. The woman can even be a celebrity who is only a friend to you in your imagination. Who the woman does not matter. What matters is that she must be someone you can copy and who will give you the strength you need to take action now and get things done.
