What is the Principle of Right Action?

The idea that you need to always be doing the right thing even when you don't feel like it.

Why is it Important?

Imagine how awesome your life would be right now if you took right action all the time. Doing the things you have to do even when you don't feel like it builds willpower and creates a habit of success. Right action is necessary to succeed in business, career, relationships, fitness, parenting, school, etc.

Principle of Right Action: Key Points

Definition: doing what is necessary even when you don't feel like it.

Must obey the principle of right action at all times. Imagine how awesome you would be if you always took right action. You would be a rock star! The problem is that it's really hard to do, especially if you're not in the habit of doing it, or operating out of lower-consciousness.

There is no magic pill that will let you get around this. No product, no service, no coach, no doctor, no therapist, no amount of love or money. Your success and happiness is directly proportional to how well you obey the principle of right action: Are you doing the things you know you need to be doing? It's never going to be 100%, but it should be 70% at least. Less than 70% will make you miserable.

How do you take right action? You just force yourself to do it. There are no tricks. Sometimes it just takes a lot of screwing up to generate the emotional leverage you need to take more right action. Sometimes you can just will yourself to do it because your vision is compelling enough.
