As everyone knows life is not forever however, the other guarantee is some thing that not many realize if you do not take action, it will be no outcome
— from Goals, Action & Defining Success (Goal/Action/Success/Motivation)
In the book
And when the goals pile up, prioritize ruthlessly — run them through a kind of tournament bracket, round after round, until you are left with the single most important priority, the one thing; Buffett's version is to list your top twenty-five aims and then ruthlessly avoid all but the top few. Then — and this is where most dreams quietly die — you must act, and act immediately. A flight plan is worth nothing until you push the throttle; take the action, and take it now, because the one guarantee in life is that if you do not act, nothing whatsoever will happen. Define the win vividly first, then break it into a simple action plan, since the more concretely you can picture the benefit the more surely you will move. […] Build a system and prioritize to one thing. Make the system serve the big-picture goal, and narrow your aims to the single most important. Then act — now. Nothing happens until you move; build it one day at a time; and break procrastination by amplifying the cost of not acting. Feed the right fuel. Lean on autonomy, mastery, and purpose; do what you genuinely enjoy; and check that the drive is honestly your own. — Goals, Action & Defining Success (Goal/Action/Success/Motivation)
