Today we're going to be talking about how to get better at taking action to create the life that you want.

Let's dive in.

If you actually think about it, life is not hard. You are where you are right now and there is a place in the future that you want to be. And the only way to go from where you are where you are right now, and there is a place in the future that you want to be.

And the only way to go from where you are now to where you want to be is to get your

ass up and do what needs to be done. But why don't we do it? And so I have a, I actually found

this. I was trying to figure out where it came from. I don't know who actually wrote it. I found it on a couple different websites. One of them was Strangestloop.io. Another one was a guy named Gareth Williams. And it's this thing called Doing the Thing. And I'm going to read it to you. It's an article that I think is perfect for what we're going to talk about today. And here's what he says. Preparing to do the thing isn't doing the

thing. Scheduling time to do the thing isn't doing the thing. Making a to-do list of the thing

isn't doing the thing. Telling people you're going to do the thing isn't doing the thing.

Messaging friends who may or may not be doing the thing isn't doing the thing. Messaging friends who may or may not be doing the thing isn't doing the thing.

Writing a banger tweet on how you're going to do the thing isn't doing the thing.

Hating on yourself for not doing the thing isn't doing the thing. Hating on other people who have

done the thing isn't doing the thing. Hating on obstacles in the way

of doing the thing isn't doing the thing. Fantasizing of all of the adoration you'll receive once you do

the thing isn't doing the thing. Reading about how to do the thing isn't doing the thing. Reading about

how other people did the thing is not doing the thing. Reading about how other people did the thing is not doing the thing.

Reading this essay isn't doing the thing.

The only thing that is doing the thing is doing the thing.

So when you look at that, what the hell does that mean?
