There’s a difference between taking two years to do something and waiting two years for something.
What have you been waiting for?
Do something today — anything — that will bring you one step closer to your goal. Maybe that’s writing an action plan or organizing your thoughts.
If you want to get in shape, go for a walk. If you hate your job, search Monster or nPost for a new one (just not at work!). If you want to get out of debt, put a single dollar towards it. But whatever you do, stop complaining and start acting.

“When you get into a tight place and everything goes against you, till it seems as though you could not hold on a minute longer, never give up then, for that is just the place and time that the tide will turn.”

“Nothing in this world can take the place of persistence. Talent will not; nothing is more common than unsuccessful people with talent. Genius will not; unrewarded genius is almost a proverb. Education will not; the world is full of educated derelicts. Persistence and determination alone are omnipotent. The slogan “press on” has solved and always will solve the problems of the human race.”
- Calvin Coolidge
“Determination is the wake-up call to the human will.”
- Anthony Robbins
