Action is eloquence


So said Shakespeare in Coriolanus. I was down with fever and a very bad chest infection for one week and therefore, could not write this blog. Well, the fever came down a little day before yesterday and I was feeling much better yesterday, but inertia took over. When I got up in the morning, I had fever again but I remembered this quote ands thought, ' I have to write today.'

Don't we let small things make us stop doing things we don't want to do or even when we do want to do, the smallest excuse becomes big enough to procrastinate. I often feel this and then I get angry with myself. All the motivational gurus and teachers tell us the antidote is to take action. Some of them even tell you how to do that. But even then most of us listen to these lectures or read and then get geared up for a few days and then fall again into the trap of inertia. 

What I have found useful is that I come and sit on my computer after breakfast and one my blog site. I just think of a quote, sometimes even search for a good one and then just start writing. I am surprised at the flow of thoughts that come gushing through. Just sit and start writing. For my poetry though, it is a different ball game. That comes to me usually at night. Some times I get up with a verse in my mind and then go to my study and finish the poem. 

But yes, action is the language to fulfill our dreams and the sooner we speak it, the more beautiful our life becomes. Whether it’s talking action to improve a relationship or finishing a long forgotten project, ACT....


So be it!!!!
