One of the key distinguishing factors between those who succeed and those who don’t is action.
Many people desire success, they wish to do well, to excel and move ahead in life. All these lofty dreams only end up at the level of ambition, intention and hopes. Nothing more. Day in, day out, they do nothing about their dreams. They don’t study, attend the seminars and trainings, go to the gym or develop themselves. They just keep wishing that someday, luck will come knocking on their doors. Unfortunately, life is not wired that way. The Law of sowing tells us simply that if you don’t sow, don’t expect to reap. Here, I have listed 12 powerful quotes I find useful to get you stimulated towards taking action to accelerate the actualization of your dreams.
