You don't need motivational quotes, books, videos or speeches.

There is a reason so many people on here preach over and over again, just do something. One foot in front of the other, step. Rinse, repeat.

Just have to take the first smallest step possible, and keep pushing for the next step.

There is no better feeling than taking repeated action towards your ultimate goal - and thus, one becomes hooked.

But there is a stark contrast between action that counts and action that doesn't - and you subconsciously know this. There is a world of difference in how you feel afterwards at the end of the day when you dedicated the majority of time to your major purpose. Versus doing things that may be good and beneficial, but you know aren't proving worthy to your main goal at this time and moment.

Being that we're all here at The Millionaire Fastlane Forum, and everyone's read the book... everyone should have some idea right now of some action you can take on your main goal.

If you cheat yourself of taking action, you know this, it doesn't feel good, and it sets you back. When you make moves, things figure themselves out, time becomes your ally and molds your plans for you. When you don't, and are stuck on things like over analyzing or procrastination, time works against you.

Its a higher level feeling that you can't obtain from hedonistic pursuits. I started working at 11am and here it is 2am, its not like I have written milestones, but I have mental pictures of what I want to get done and what the next step is, and every time I hit one of those milestones it felt great.

How you feel the next 60 minutes is a reflection of what you've done the last 60 minutes. Do the right thing and ride your good feeling wave of accomplishment into your next milestone completion.

I want to write more but for fear of sounding like a rambling idiot, I'll leave it here. The title was all I wanted to say anyways. Taking action is addictive.
