A Moment Like This
Once more April is here, spring is almost upon us and those of us living in the UK have just set our clocks forward by an hour in line with daylight saving time.
This doesn't mean that we have any less or any more time to spend, of course.
A second is still a second and an hour is still an hour in each of our lives.
Even with that adjustment to the clocks, there is not one moment more or one moment less available to any of us.
Yet it is the way we use those moments that determines the course of our lives.
Indeed, the way we spend our moments is the way we spend our lives.
Even as you read this the clock is ticking. None of us, after all, has forever.
What you do now has the power to completely change your life. But the simple truth is that it isn't enough to think about it. You need to do it.
The smallest action has the power to change your world because the smallest action has much more power than even the best thought out intention.
If we look deeply enough, we will see that sometimes life invites us to take a little leap of faith; it asks us to trust it enough to take a chance, a jump into the unknown.
Yes, the unknown can be scary. We can allow fear to freeze and block us, to bring us to a grinding halt, or we can use that fear as a spring board to take action and to move us forward.
Action, after all, has the power to conquer fear. And courage comes with the doing.
Start from where you are, not from where you'd like to be.
Be ruthlessly honest with yourself. Acknowledge where you are at the present time and then begin to head in the direction of the place where you need to go.
All it takes is to get up and begin -- and then keep on with that beginning. Venture out of your comfort zone. Make that telephone call. Send that email. Knock on that door. Shake that hand.
It really doesn't matter how far behind you feel yourself to be, what matters is that you begin to move forward.
Real success, after all, depends not on your position, but on your direction.
It depends on your attitude.
The really important thing is to begin.
