Don't just sit there do something, take action

I was watching a DVD of Andy Andrews. One of the 'Seven Decisions for Success' he talks about is 'I am a person of action'. He considers it the most important of the Seven Decisions. Steven R. Covey talks about something similar. To paraphrase him, To know a thing and not do is not really not to know.

Live life from the end

I imagine my 85th birthday. Who is there, where it is at and what is being said. My family and friends are talking about me, I imagine what they say. I also imagine my funeral. What is said, who is there. I really try to experience these events in my mind. It is the end of my life and I know what people are going to say about me. Like watching the last 5 minutes of a movie, I know how it is going to end. Now all I do is follow the script to get the end of my movie.
