It's a such a little word, isn't it? Only 7 innocent letters. But in
mankind's pursuit of this 1 small word, people have lost forever
relationships with their loved ones from lack of attention and care.
(my life experience)
Other people have damaged their health, lied,
cheated, denied their spiritual being, and have risked their very
life - all in the name of having what they considered "Success".
On the other hand...
There are things you already have some knowledge about.
You may not know every principle involved, or the each available
method to implement the principles, but you do know enough to take the
first step.
When you're in such a situation, you won't really know how to take
advantage of your knowledge because you haven't yet tested your
present knowledge with personal action.

From observations of my own life and by watching others, I'm convinced
you can't successfully learn deeper principles until you've acted on
faith to test the barest basic principles of any situation.
Like my Granddad used to say "Don't worry about
what might happen. Just start with what you know and the 'job'
will tell you what to do next."
On many occasions, I've proven he was right, as amazingly he usually was.
Before I built my first blog, I've read thousands of Website design books, reports and reviews, tips and hints...
But, I didn't start blogging!
No No, I proceeded to read every 'how to' site building book I could get my
hands (and eyes) on. I checked out everything our local libraries had on Website
construction, spent long hours starring at the monitor, Then I bought, or rented and studied Website Design videos.
I didn't start blogging!!
I always believed that something is still missing and have to read more resources, in fact I
wanted assurance I wouldn't make any mistakes... even before I got
started.
Life doesn't work like that...
It's smart to do your research. It's wise to learn from others who are
already doing it. But there comes a time when you have to leap out in
faith and take the first step.
And I was getting nowhere with my Website dream. Finally, I got
embarrassed enough from answering "When ya gonna get that first blog launched?"
I just started doing it. I took the first step. I was plenty scared.
But you know what? A major portion of the knowledge I'd worked so hard
to get, didn't fit my situation.
Life rewards action. Life rewards faith. Life rewards those who
persist. Life rewards those who take the first step. Life does not
reward knowing everything before you get started...
Which is always impossible until you take the first step, you can never truly know the next step.
And you can never 'know' anything - until you know it on a cellular
level because you've done the thing itself.
The workings of gravity aren't a secret to a physicist because they
know gravity's principles, to me & You don't have to believe in gravity, do you? The truth of how gravity
works - keeps us here - whether you accept it or not.
"Some facts remain true regardless You believe in them or not" ... Nicolas Cage in City of Angels (1998).
Likewise, success has principles. you might assume the 1st success principle is action.
To Your Success
