(Continued from the past 2 days.)

Once you make up your mind to do something, action is sure to follow. Whether you decide to leave or love, it's the decision that's most important.

Let's be clear about one thing first. It happens through ACTIONS. You'll never be able to blab your way out of a situation you behaved yourself into. You must act.

Okay, but what actions?

Don't be overwhelmed by this list. Most of these won't work for you. I created 50 so you would have options. My challenge to you is to pick 2; in the next 24 hours do 1 "Talk Charge" and 1 "Touch Charge".
