Paralysis by analysis.
Just do it.
Do it now.
The early bird catches the worm.
Don't wait for your ship to come in; swim out to get it.
Ow. I get it...stop thinking and do!
Well I was doing P90X today -man you just have to appreciate the good stuff they put out- when Tony Horton nailed it. He went down to bang out some push-ups and said, "This is my speed." Good form but man he was flying...
I followed Tony's lead and did more push-ups than I'd expected and after the set he told me why. He said, "Get out of your head." Yeah!! No kidding. How many times have I (before I'd even started) talked myself out of a higher count and then succeeded at underachieving? No comment!
Tony's physical expression of: stop thinking and get going, is just what the doctor ordered for many of us. Stop thinking so much about balancing the checkbook; stop thinking about making that call and stop thinking about going for that dream. Do something -now!
Thanks, Tony.

Good advice, as always, Ron! And I'm glad to know P90X is good for life coaching advice as well as fitness :)
ReplyDeletePhysical stuff is awesome as a metaphor for the rest of life!
