I admire the doers–the people who step into the arena, throw down the gauntlet, and give everything they have in pursuit of their goals. Even when they fail, the doers achieve something the talkers never will. The pride and sense of accomplishment that doing offers survive even the most crushing defeat. Also, failure can be our greatest teacher, and those who have fallen yet found the courage to try again do so with renewed strength and wisdom.

Whatever your dream, get started today. Write that book. Start that business. Pursue that degree. As long as you give it your best effort and learn from the experience, you will not regret the decision.

Stop talking; start doing.
