Minute With Maxwell - Action

There are two types of people in the world: those who wait to feel good before they take action, and those who take action in order to feel good. The first type of person is constantly getting ready to take action, but they never actually do it because they're waiting for their emotions to tell them to. The second type of person understands that action triggers emotion, so they take action even when they don't feel like it.

The first type of person is often unsuccessful because they're always waiting for the perfect moment to take action. The perfect moment never comes, so they never achieve their goals. The second type of person, on the other hand, is often successful because they're willing to take action even when they don't feel like it. They know that if they take action, they'll eventually start to feel good about it.

The key to success is to learn to act despite your emotions. If you wait to feel good before you take action, you'll never get anything done. But if you take action and then allow your emotions to catch up, you'll be much more likely to succeed.

In Summary

"The early bird gets the worm, but if your action determines your emotions, you'll go right to the head of the game."

This quote means that if you're willing to take action, even when you don't feel like it, you'll be much more successful than someone who waits for their emotions to tell them to act. So next time you're feeling hesitant about taking action, remember this quote and take the plunge! You might be surprised at how good you feel afterwards.
