Well, I promised I'd be back 'tomorrow' and it's been a week.
A family emergency got in the way and I've been offline all week but I'm finally back with another (hopefully) thought provoking message to help you achieve your goals faster : )
Today I want to answer one of the MAJOR questions I always seem to receive about achieving goals.
"When Should I Begin?"
Believe it or not, it's a really common question!
People are of the belief that there is some special 'buildup' they have to go through in order to achieve what they want or that they have to 'prepare' or 'get ready' or have all their ducks in a row before they can finally go after what they want.
They tell themselves they'll start to pursue their goals...
...tomorrow
...next week
...next year
...when the kids get out of school
...when the kids go back to school
...when there is more time
...when things settle down
...when there are less bills
...when there is more money
...when the moment it right
And all the while they delay the pursuit of those things that would make them happiest because of... something. Some 'reason' for why they couldn't possibly go after their goals right here, right now.
So here's my answer.
(I think you know it already) : )
Start right here, right now with whatever resources you have at your disposal to build the life that you most dream about having.
You see, you can carry on dreaming about the things you want or you can do something about them.
You can let the daily routine of your current life run the show or you can make the changes you want to see.
You can keep putting off and delaying your happiness until 'someday' or you can begin doing the things you know you are capable of doing TODAY!
The choice is yours.
You have the power to choose.
You see, it's all too easy to fall into the same old routine of saying to yourself 'someday I'll do it but right now I just have too much on my plate'.The truth is, you will ALWAYS have tons of things to do, tons of people to see, tons of places to go, chores to be done and bills to be paid.
That's life for us all, right?
But if you don't at least START building the life of your dreams, regardless of how busy, tired, stressed, broke you are then you stand zero chance of ever getting there don't you?
So start today my friends.
Start today.
You don't have to do much. You don't have to change the world in an afternoon. Just change one thing. Do one thing different to how you did it yesterday and you've begun to move your life on a different course. This is the REAL 'secret' of goal achievement.
It's taking action.
But you knew this already, right? : )
Truth, Joy and Love

The one action I'm committed to doing today is going to gym. I skipped exercising yesterday because I was lazy, but today won't hear any excuses.
Good on ya Toonah!
I have not looked at my 100 list for ages :-( but I am going to go through it now.
cheers Dax for reminding me.
I have multiple sclerosis and I am committed to get in bed earlier, so I can rest and be ready to live life at my best every day! Thank you Dax for the extra motivation!
Dax, I've been following you for awhile waiting to get started....always finding a reason to start tomorrow. Thanks for this messages today. I willstart my blog today.
Have an awesome day today!
My one action for today should actually have a domino effect - 1) Stop working on time this afternoon, so 2) I can make it to my training session and 3) Be home in time to have dinner with my wife. Wow Dax, it really is that simple...who knew?
