"Remember, you will always be more disappointed by the things that you didn't do than by the things that you did. Again, you must do in order to be."

"Mistakes can be overcome but inaction imprisons the soul."

My new habit is to become a woman of action. Too often when I get a prompting to do something I tell myself, "Ya, ya, I'll think about it later." But later never comes because I've forgotten all about it by then. From now on I will act immediately. If it is something I need to do later then I will write it down and follow through. It's amazing how many promptings I recieve when I pay attention and make myself open to them. I made a special place in my notebook where I can write them so I don't forget anymore. I don't want to keep forgetting to do the important things in life or all the goodness will keep passing me by. I will do so I can be.

One little example from today -> We bought a couple extra sandwiches at KFC and I thought I should offer them to a man waiting outside for a bus. I felt pretty silly offering him food when he was standing there minding his own business. I thought he might just tell me to get lost but he didn't. He looked at it and said, "Cool! Thanks." And I thought, "Cool!"

I didn't save the world or anything with my sandwiches but who knows what good I can do if I keep it up. I can make a difference one sandwich (action/habit) at a time!
