• If there is something that you have to do, resist the temptation to do it under duress. Ask yourself, "What's the worst thing that would happen if I didn't do this?" And if you can get away with not doing it at all, don't do it. And then imagine what would it feel like to have this done.

And then, the next time you decide that you're going to take action about it, the action is going to be a whole lot easier.
