I Will Act Now

By: Og Mandino
(An Excerpt)

I will not avoid the task of today and charge them tomorrow for I know that tomorrow never comes.
Let me act now even though my actions may not bring happiness or success for it is better to act and fail
than not to act and flounder. Happiness, in truth, may not be the fruit plucked by my action yet without
action all fruit will die on the vine.

I will act now. I will act now. I will act now. Henceforth, I will repeat these words again and again,
each hour, each day, every day, until the words become as much a habit as my breathing and the actions
which follow become as much a instinctive as the blinking of my eyelids. With these words I can condition
my mind to meet every challenge which the failure avoids. I will act now.
