When we don’t take action, it’s not the task or the time that stops us. It’s the thought we’re be believing in that moment. Our thoughts create our feelings, and those feelings determine whether we move forward or stay stuck. If you aren’t acting identify the thought you’re thinking right now and the emotion it creates. Then ask, how do I want to feel when taking this action? Choose a feeling that supports progress and find a thought that generates that emotion. When you shift the thoughts, the action follows.

• Your actions aren’t blocked by time or difficulty.
• They’re blocked by the thought running the show.
• Shift the thought. Shift the feeling. Shift the outcome.
• Success in midlife starts in the mind.
• Choose the belief that moves you forward.
