Time to act

Put forth a little effort. You’ll generate the energy for a little more effort.

Each time you add to the effort, you make even more effort possible. You establish a positive, productive momentum.

Sure, effort involves some discomfort and inconvenience. Yet avoiding effort closes off your options, and eventually leads to a level of discomfort that’s impossible to escape.

While the present moment is still here, it makes sense to make good use of it. Point your thoughts toward a desirable result, and put forth effort in that same direction.

Even if you don’t feel like it, you can make a little effort. The more you do, the more you’ll feel like it, and before long you’ll wonder why you ever hesitated.

Now is the time to act, to establish momentum, to nudge life in a more positive and fulfilling direction. The sooner you take the opportunity, the better.
