Act on faith

Do you want to be motivated to take action? Then take action.

It’s a mistake to think that motivation alone initiates action. You initiate the action, and then motivation comes forth to continue it.

So once you start actually doing what you intend to do, then you’ll be motivated. Thoughts and words from yourself and others can prompt you to act, yet true, sustained motivation arises only after you begin.

If you’re waiting for sufficient motivation, wait no longer. Get going and create that motivation.

Every initial step forward is an act of faith. But once you’re in motion, you quickly develop momentum and motivation to sustain that motion.

Go ahead, feel that faith in your own ability and in the rightness of your intention. Then act on your faith, and all sorts of good and powerful things begin to happen.

— Ralph Marston
