Challenges come in all shapes and forms.

The difficult situation.

Delivering a deal.

A sudden change.

Time constraints.

Doing something for the first time.

A new opportunity.

Problems and complications.

Increased responsibility.

Fulfilling your potential.

How will you approach it?

Retreat and retract?

Or do you rise to the challenge?

Action will fix it.

It is the only thing that ever will.

Ignoring it doesn’t make it go away.

That’s inaction.

Yes, by all means, think through the options and scenarios.

But just thinking about it won’t fix it.

Yes, of course decide what needs to be done.

But deciding doesn’t fix it.

Yes, make a plan.

But planning by itself isn’t going to fix it.

Action will fix it.

Directed and intentional action.

Got anything you want to fix?

Whatever you are doing, do it well.

No need to wait to do it better.

Waiting for that “better” role, project or task to come along.

Do what you can with what you’ve got.

Do the absolute best you can.

When you do that, something happens.

You will start to get more.

You will be able to do more.

You will be able to do it even better.

So the time to do the best you can is now.

Always now.

“Do what you can, with what you have, where you are.” – Theodore Roosevelt

There is an ever growing “to do” list.

There are too many commitments.

There is always more to do than time permits.

Everything is urgent.

All of it matters.

However, you can only ever do one thing at a time.

So be intentional.

Select that one wisely.
