Action helps you think and raises your self-esteem. Good luck happens when you're in action. Ask yourself, Does this go toward or away from what I want? There's an animal in us, and it has great instincts. Scan for a desire and follow it. Set a goal, any goal, and start doing everything you can think of to achieve it.
