What are you going to do about it?

The issue is not will you do something about it, for to do nothing is doing something about it.

The issue is what are you going to do about it.

Everyday things come into your life that are good, bad, or ugly. The decision you must make is, what are you going to do about it.

When hammered with criticism, obstructions, and adversity, what are you going to do about it?

When faced with shortages, setbacks, and limitations, what are you going to do about it.

And don’t forget the many opportunities, privileges, and resources you have. They all have a shelf life. What are you going to do about them?

Living a passive, excuse-laden life is not the answer.

Living a “live & let live” life is a fast track to the back of the pack.

Giving in to your fear and downsizing or putting your hopes and dreams on hold is not the answer either.

No matter what you’re facing today, step up! Take responsibility. There is at least one positive and constructive thing you can do. Do it!

After that, you can count on it, the next thing to do will reveal itself.

The ONE THING for today: It has never been easier to distinguish yourself from the pack than it is today. Put the crowd that is crying, whining, and making excuses in the rearview mirror, and you move forward with your life–one wise step at a time.
