Boldly Go . . .

This week’s final post is the fourth of Robert Ringer’s Four Pillars of Action:

No. 1:  Nothing Happens Until Something Moves.
No. 2:  God Helps Those Who Help Themselves.
No. 3:  The Law of Averages.

Today, we’ll boldly go…

“Boldness has genius, power, and magic in it.” — Johann Wolfgang von Goethe.

Ringer has modified that saying to

Pillar No. 4: Action Produces Genius, Magic, and Power.

Ringer writes that there is something wondrous about action that is impossible to adequately describe. “Action,” he writes, “is the key to the brain’s ignition.”

Think of it as a success cycle:  Action leads to genius, which is your mind opening up to new ideas; Action and genius leads to magic, which results in otherwise unexplainable “coincidences” happening in your life; action, genius, and magic work in concert to produce power and motivation which leads to more action — creating solutions we need to solve our problems and accomplish our objectives.

Again, I didn’t create Carpe Diem Life because I’m an expert — far from it.  I created it because I want to motivate myself to start writing again and hopefully tap into some magic. 

As Ringer shows, a human being can CHOOSE to change his existence by altering events.  In Carpe Diem Life terms, that means:

Plotting ACTION LISTS . . .
Connection to RESOURCES . . .
Taking PERSISTENT ACTION . . .
EVALUATING the progress . . .
Changing DIRECTION if need be . . .
IMPROVING . . .
ENJOYING THE PROCESS . . .
Remembering that it’s MY LIFE / RESPONSIBILITY!   






I encourage you to pick up one of Robert Ringer's works and see if it sparks some action, genius, magic, and power.  Choose to take some ACTION today and BOLDLY GO into this weekend.

Carpe Diem Life,
