When you take action now, you realize all the cool adults are doing it and it is a magnificent feeling. You will also learn that some of your take action now heroes, have heroes of their own, and one of those heroes may be you!
“When I was a child, I spake as a child, I understood as a child. I thought as a chld: but when I became a man, I put away childish things.” I Corinthians 13:11
Once of the greatest pleasures of childhood is the ability to put things off for some unknown “tomorrow.” Anyone who has ben around children has witnessed masters of the art of postponement. Children do not try to complete school assignments when asked. Instead, they make up excuses. They put off chores until they can be put off no more. I have heard my children try to get out of work because they didn’t have the right pencil, because they had three more days to get it done and because the project was so easy it could be done at recess the day it was due. When you become an adult, it is time to do things differently. When you are an adult, you take action now and do what needs to be done in a timely manner. Often doing things in a timely manner means do it now, not waiting for a mysterious “Someday” to arrive. Take action now means just what it says, you do something now, right now.
As children, we are told that talk is cheap. Some people make the mistake of thinking this means words have no value. This is far from the truth. Our words do have value. Our words give us plans, directions, and marching orders. When we are told “our word is our bond,” it means something. It means that when we say a thing we need to make that thing happen. It means we must keep our word. Taking action now is the place where all our talk and pretty words is supposed to end. Talk as much as you please. Talking is a great thing to do for fun, entertainment and business purposes. But, no matter how good the talk is, you must move to take action now if you want to get things done.

This sounds awesome and absolutely true! You really need to channel your inner superhero sometimes, and be inspired that you too can take action now. It’s always better to do something rather than just talk about it. Thank you for this inspiring post!
Taking responsible for ones actions is so important. Amazing how many people fail to take responsibility.
Thank you! I love the thought of taking action now but being responsible for those actions. Doing what’s right is always best! Great thoughts here.
Yes! I totally agree with this. I notice with my four year old she will put things off and realized that I need to take action now and lead by example.
The idea of channeling a superhero is great. I need all the motivation I can get. I am definitely in that child mentality sometimes.
Yes! I love calling on my superhero friends to get me through rough patches just like thye know they can call on me!
I love the idea of channeling a superhero! Sometimes we need that! Love your post!
It definitely can’t stop at words. It has to go further, but the words are important to get it started.
Actions really do speak louder than words. And it’s amazing what we can all accomplish.
Our word really does matter. And someone else’s does too. Absolutely.
I am working on being more honorable to my word. Its important when I commit to something I need to follow through. Great post!
I am a church girl, so you know where my best quotes are found!
Yes, talk is not cheap and if we do not watch what we say, talk can be down right expensive.
I so agree, Talk is anything but cheap. Wonderful post.
There is nothing better then self motivation and of course taking action .. nothing at all better than that. I like that you alluded to Corinthians
I always try to take action NOW.. I’m a live for the present type of person. Talk is certainly cheap and I remember learning that lesson!
It is important to take action now. Also, talk is cheap. It’s always better to actually do something.
So true that talk can be important but you still need to take action. Sometimes that’s easier said than done, for sure.
Fun and inspirational as always. I need to take time from my day and call friends…
I agree with you….talk isn’t necessarily cheap. If you are a person of their word, that your talk should be very valuable. 🙂
Love how you mention that talk is cheap… I find actions speak louder than words so it’s important that both line up. Today I am not feeling the superhero part of me…but that’s ok. Authentic and real are where I am striving to be 🙂
I think it’s great to channel your inner superhero. Some days I definitely feel like one.
