Do you ever go into the supermarket to buy just one or two things and come out with an entire cart-full?

Do you ever act on your impulses? Acting on impulse can have negative consequences, like when you're in the grocery store. But did you know it can be very positive? Let me tell you what I mean. An impulse is nothing more than an urge to do something, a suggestion from your subconscious that suddenly surfaces in your conscious mind. Do you act on it or not?

You know, carrying impulses into action is a good way to become goal oriented. But if you consistently invent excuses or reasons why you can't act on your impulses, not much good will come from them.

You might ask yourself, how can I tell if they are impulses that will have a negative or positive result? Well, when you have an impulse to do something, ask yourself this question: Is this consistent with what I want in life? If the answer is no, nip that impulse in the bud, fast. If the answer is yes, act on it.

If the impulse is something you can do immediately, then do it, because procrastination is the death of many noble impulses. If it can't be done immediately, set a goal and create a clear mental picture of the end result. Feed that picture every day with the fuel of a vivid imagination and a determined spirit, and you will see great things begin to happen in your life.
