You must train yourself to turn thought into action. This is the only way you will ever see results in your life.

I can’t tell you how many people I’ve heard say they’re planning on starting a fitness regimen, that they’re getting ready to begin dieting, that they’re going to become more active during their days. And yet only a fraction of these people end up following through on their verbal commitments. Why? Because we’ve become a culture of talkers.

In today’s society we’re made a habit of talking rather than doing. We talk through our problems, talk about our plans, talk about our likes and dislikes, hopes and dreams. Yet how many of turn our words into action? Not enough, I’m afraid.

If you’re one who’s been talking about getting into a healthy routine but haven’t yet done so, I want you to wake up 45 minutes early tomorrow and go for a jog, first thing. Even just a walk. Or do some crunches and push-ups. No if’s, and’s or but’s – Do it!
