Marie T. Russell's Daily Inspiration

The focus for today is:  I take action on the path with heart.

The first thing we must do to get ahead on our path is to take action. Simply making plans, and discussing what could be, is not moving forward. Taking steps, even small ones, one at a time, is what the journey of life and of transformation is about.

Procrastination stems from doubts, fear, or just simply not wanting to do something. And rather than admit that we are refusing to take action, we avoid confrontation (with ourselves and/or others) by pretending that we are just delaying. A Chinese fortune cookie shares a bit of wisdom: "Even if you're on the right track, you'll get run over if you just sit there." 

Delaying is simply wasting time and energy when we could be making progress towards our dreams. To get out of that dilemma, we need to tune in for guidance as to the best steps to take.  We check our heart for clarity and then either take the action we've been resisting if that is the path for us, or we go in another direction. By taking steps, one by one, on the path with heart, we will experience success and fulfillment.
