My life has taught me many things. First: We are in absolute control of
our fates and destinies. In other words, I am NOT a fatalist. If you
don't like your life, you really CAN change it - even today. If you
don't like your body, you really can change it - with disciplined
exercise and diet. If you don't like your relationship, you can change
it or end it - by taking meaningful corrective action.

But most people would prefer lamenting, hoping, dreaming, remorsing or
wishing rather than doing - "whatever it takes." I've observed tens of
thousands of unhappy, unsuccessful people in business and outside it.
Guess what they almost ALL have in common? Nothing! Or more accurately,
they do nothing meaningful to change their situation, circumstances or
plight.

Buying a book you don't read or don't implement on isn't something you
should be proud of. Attending a seminar you don't follow through with
isn't any great achievement. Paying a coach or consultant for guidance
you don't use or follow isn't something to be proud of, either.
