Improv ideas for Life - Part 7

In my continuing series, here's hoping these improv mantras can positively influence your experience and help make life better. Today's topic is:

Just decide and do something

Ambivalence and timidity are the death of an improviser on stage. Since everything is made up, you just have to make a decision and go with it. Once you make a decision, it’s up to you and your partner(s) to run with it and make it work.

In life, we don’t get things done because we haven’t decided what we want. Until we do, we’ll never be able to achieve it. People will find a thousand excuses to not do something. To succeed you have to actually do something. It does neither you or the world any good if you have the greatest idea since sliced bread but do nothing about it. That you do something is far more important than what you do.

"Good decisions come from experience, and experience comes from bad decisions." ~Author Unknown
"Everything is something you decide to do, and there is nothing you have to do." ~Denis Waitley
"A peacefulness follows any decision, even the wrong one." ~Rita Mae Brown
