James Brausch's Action Test

Hi James,

I don't have an active blog so I'm using this old blog to reply to your action test:

I have followed your blog for a long time and I think your teaching has really inspired me. Why should you give me the Magnavox MWR20V6 DVD Recorder? I want it so that whenever I use the DVD recorder, it will remind me of the "action" I took. A lot of people refuse to take action because they have too many things to worry about. They worry that things won't go their way. They worry that they'll lose, etc etc.

When I saw your "action test", my mind gave me a bunch of B.S telling me that I will not be chosen so why bother doing it. But instead of agreeing with that nasty little voice, I told myself, "What have I got to lose, I'll do it anyways!". I didn't let that voice overpower me. Once I took action, it creates momentum within me and eventually I got the action completed.

I don’t mind if I win or lose, I’m just glad I’m able to beat that nasty “little voice” in my head.

Best,

Alan
