Only action will do the job. Thoughts, imaginations, plans, meetings, seminars, conferences, talks, conventions, and the like, will not do the job. Unless there is action there will never be a thing done.

At any moment in your life action is the only thing that will build you. So, even if you are not so sure about the action that you will do, as long as it is legal and won't hurt anyone, go ahead and do it. If you are afraid, do it afraid. The bottom line is: Just do it.

Time is empty if you don't put action in it. Your future is empty and you are filling it with your activities now. Your life will also be empty if you don't fill it up with activities.

I teach on the 3 cyclical interchangeables- thoughts, words, actions. These three go in a cycle and interchanges. You got to have the thoughts, then action, then words. Or you get the actions, followed by thoughts, and words. Whichever happens first, these 3 interchanges. But the most important of the 3 is action.

Of course, you have to have knowledge, that's why we ask and read. But knowledge without action is dead. Even faith without action is dead. Faith is the strongest element, but even that is dead without action.

Why not act on your youth? Why not act on your time? Why wait? What is there to wait for? You are wasting your time if you wait.

People say, "Let me think about it." That's valid, but they just say an alibi. What do you have to think about if the thing is good, positive, and it is an opportunity to better your life?

For example, joining the youth call. Are you going to say, "Oh, let me think about whether or not I will join the youth call?" Why not join in if you are not doing an emergency? It's just a call. You have a cell phone, right? Saturday is free call, right? Why not call in? If you don't call in and you are not doing anything, then you are wasting your time.

People ask me, "How can you do all these?" It looks to them I am really doing a lot. They observe that I have still time to write and do recordings, or create a presentation show. They seem to see that I am doing a lot. Believe me, I'm not doing a lot. My focus now is building up the lives of young people, and I am not doing a lot at all. I need to do more.

Yes, guys, we need to do more. And you need to do the proper activity. Productivity is doing the proper activity. Building your life is the most important thing of all. Build it with inspiration. Build it with proper philosophies. Build it strong and build it good. And action is the very requirement to build your life. Proper action and action on time.

So, you got time? Act. Act on that time. Don't waste it.
