Stop making excuses and just DO IT

Merlin Mann had this great post today about how people get addicted to "tips" on the many sites and blogs that talk about how to accomplish anything you can imagine, but they never really go out and do anything or change their lives. They get addicted to advice that they enjoy, rather than the advice they need.

That's my biggest fear with Bounteo, that nothing that's written here will ultimately help anyone, or change anything. So here's some advice that you probably need to hear, but you probably won't enjoy:

• It's no one else's fault that you're not where you should be.
• It's probably not too late, but it will be someday.
• Stop making excuses, to yourself or anyone else.
• Things do not change for the better on their own.
• Wake up and get your act together. Right now.

Shut off the TV, get off of Facebook or whatever other site you're wasting time on, and just do whatever it is you know you should be doing. It might not be fun, it might not be perfect, it might not be anything you feel like doing. Do it anyway. Right now. Because if you don't, you'll look back one day and hate yourself for it.
