Chapter 21. Choose to Be Fulfilled
When you change your expectations, You change your attitude; When you change your attitude, You change your behavior; When you change your behavior, You change your performance; When you change your performance; You Change Your Life!
While most people are out talking, thinking, reading, or researching an idea, successful people are out there doing things and making things happen. As I said earlier, it’s not so much about the knowledge; it’s actually going out and applying what you know. You’ll learn more in a few hours doing than in all the days and months of research and contemplation. You can have all the knowledge in the world, but if you don’t apply it, then it’s useless. I see so many people get caught up in thinking they need to know every little detail about something before they take action. In many cases this ends up being a missed opportunity. Howmany times in life have you come up with an idea or an invention or a business concept and you did not take action? Maybe you ana- lyzed and talked the idea to death. And then several years later you see your idea making someone else a fortune. How about when you are thinking of talking to someone you are interested in, but you put it off? And then you find out he or she is with someone else. It can break your heart and cause you to have tremendous regret. It’s always better to try and fail than to never try at all. I know we grow up hearing contradicting catch phrases, such as “Look before you leap” and “He who hesitates is lost.” It’s no wonder we are confused. Please know I am not telling you to be careless and leap without doing any research. But if you want more out of life you need to separate yourself from people who just talk about making changes and become the person who does it!
