Do not wait to strike till the iron is hot; but make it hot by striking.
William Butler Yeats
Which of your ideas should you be making happen? Make. It. Happen.

Inspiration is Perishable
Here’s a great piece found in Jason Fried and David Hansson’s latest book Rework, on the importance of acting on your inspiration.
We all have ideas. Ideas are immortal. They last forever.
What doesn’t last forever is inspiration. Inspiration is like fresh fruit or milk: It has an expiration date.
If you want to do something, you’ve got to do it now. You can’t put it on a shelf and wait two months to get around to it. You can’t just say you’ll do it later. Later, you won’t be pumped up about it anymore.
If you’re inspired on Friday, swear off the weekend and dive into the project. When yo u’re high on inspiration, you can get two weeks of work done in twenty-four hours. Inspiration is a time machine in that way.
Inspiration is a magical thing, a productivity multiplier, a motivator. But it won’t wait for you. Inspiration is a now thing. If it grabs you, grab it right back and put it to work.
Being that this blog in intended to inspire you, it is my sincere desire that you ACT on any inspiration you may receive from any of the postings! Take action…TODAY!
I’d like to know…
How are you acting on the inspiration you’ve received recently?
An idea not coupled with action will never get any bigger than the brain cell it occupied.
Arnold H. Glasgow
Every man is guilty of all the good he didn’t do.
I’d rather regret the things that I have done than the things that I have not done.
Move in spite of your fear. Unspeakable joy and freedom await you!

You can’t build a reputation on what you’re going to do.
