Success Through a Positive Mental Attitude

Today I would like to share with you the secret of getting things done. You also will learn a self-motivator that is so powerful it will subconsciously force you to action, for it is in reality a self-starter. Yet you can use it at will,

and when you do, you will overcome procrastination and inertia. If you are someone who does things you

actually don't want to do, for if you don't do the you actually don't want to do,

or if you don't do the things that you do want to do,

then today's talk is for you.

Those who achieve greatness employ this secret of getting things done.

So what is this great secret? Simply this. Do it now. As long as you live,

never say to yourself, do it now, unless you follow through with the action. Whenever you want to do

something, and do it now flashes from your subconscious to

your conscious mind, immediately take action. Make it a practice to respond to the self-starter

do it now, in little things. You then will quickly develop the habit of a reflex

response so powerful that in times of emergency, or when the opportunity presents itself,

you will act. Say you have a phone call that you should make, but you have a tendency to procrastinate, and

you've put off making the call.

When the self-starter do it now, flashes from your subconscious to your conscious mind,

take action. Make that phone call immediately.

Or suppose, for example, that you set your alarm clock for 6 a.m.
