Act or Accept. Accept, in the context of this statement, it means to “tolerate” or “reconcile oneself to” or “to endure without protest or reaction” the consequences of inaction. It means either you make your own future, or accept sloppy leftovers - and accept it with a smile on your face.
For example, can you bravely accept the consequences of not exercising? If the answer is no: “I can’t accept the inevitable depression/self-loathing/fat butt/high blood pressure that will result from not exercising”, then you must act. You can ask yourself this question on a case-by-case, day-to-day basis. Act or Accept. It’s a good axiom to live by.
Another powerful phrase I want to share with you is “Action proceeds Motivation.” It means the trigger for awakening the motivation inside you is by doing something, ANYTHING, first. Wish you were motivated to run? Then get off the couch. Stop being so comfortable. A small action will break your stink-think mindset and create sparks of motivation within. Once you’re in motion, keep the momentum going with another action, however small, and so on and so on. Sparks become a fire, motion begets momentum which in turn begets more momentum… until you become an unstoppable force hurling full speed towards your objective. Your success starts with a single act.
So go ahead. Make your move.
