Today felt like a continuation, but with a sharper edge. The ideas are there. The learning is there. The question that kept showing up was simpler and harder at the same time: What am I actually doing with it? Not in a dramatic sense, just in the quiet structure of the day. Where time went. What moved. What stayed untouched. The energy wasn’t rushed, but it was honest — a check-in with reality instead of intention.
Today’s mindful moment is part three of the same five-part lesson, and the focus is getting going. Jim Rohn is blunt here. Learning without action doesn’t build anything. He compares it to someone who keeps bringing materials to a construction site — sand, windows, doors — but never actually builds the house. Eventually, all you have is a pile. The shift comes when ideas turn into an action plan and days are designed with purpose, not left to default.
What stood out most was his emphasis on small disciplines. Cleaning up neglect. Taking the walk you keep postponing. Making the call you’ve been avoiding. Reading the page instead of talking about the book. He makes the case that everything affects everything else — that you don’t earn the right to handle complicated responsibilities until you’ve proven you can manage the simple ones. Straighten the garage before trying to run the corporation.
This lesson landed because it removes excuses. Progress doesn’t wait for motivation. It responds to movement. Small, repeated actions quietly set a new pace, and that pace eventually becomes a life.
Start where you are. Move something today.

ZM Get Going is where builders separate intention from reality. Ideas matter, but disciplines decide the direction. https://paragraph.com/@thezao/year-of-the-zabal-day-36
