Thought provoking vs Action provoking

How often do we encounter some bit of wisdom that is thought provoking? If such pearls of perception simply stir your brain a bit, but you failed to act, you probably burned some unnecessary neurons.

Many find a lack of action because they weren’t “up for it”…

Feelings are irrelevant when there is work to be done, a mountain to climb, or an objective to reach. If you simply wait to act until you “feel like it”, or it is safe, or the stars are amiably aligned, you’ll keep good company with the mindless majority.

If you are one to act, let this be your mantra:

Do your best when you feel like it least.

How? Don’t attach feelings to the task at hand. Don’t attach emotions to the task. You can acknowledge the feeling of not wanting to, but do not honor it in any way. Let your resolve be your guide, not your feelings.
