Performance
Preparation is important, but it is not enough. Planning can
be very helpful, and yet it is not enough.
Being inspired fills you with positive energy, and still it
is not enough. Getting yourself motivated is great, but
there's more to achievement than all these things.
For achievement requires performance. After all the
planning, preparation and motivation, you must get up, get
out there, and make it happen.
Once you start to take action, you cross a threshold, and
suddenly your perspective changes. You've gone beyond the
stage of getting ready and into the realm of actually
creating the achievement.
Once you've started to take action, you're committed to
following through with all that is in you. Put everything
you have into the best, most positive, creative and valuable
performance you can imagine.
Achievement comes to those who go beyond the training,
beyond the planning, beyond the motivation and into the zone
of effective action. Achievement belongs to those who choose
to become fully immersed in the performance.
