Make That Difference Today - How Taking Action is Vital to Your Success
by Paul Alexander Wood
I believe action is be one of the biggest factors that separates success from
failure, action is the difference between living the life you want from the life
you don't want. From having what you want to going without.
Whether
action is reading a book, writing a book, creating a website, helping others,
selling your house, self development, quitting a bad habit, learning a language,
taking up an evening class to learn a new hobby or skill, re-writing your CV,
contacting friends you haven't seen for a while, improving yourself in some way
or forcing yourself out of your comfort zone, action has an undeniable quality
about it, it can't be ignored and is an absolute must when creating change in
your life.

Let's say you want to start your own business, you have thought about it for a
long time, read numerous books on the subject, spoken to people about your
plans, they are all for it! But you still don't do it! Why?
We all have
ideas for products that could be very successful but how many people talk about
it and how many people actually decide to do something about it?
We all know
of people who talk about what they want to do in the future, but how many of
these same people are actually doing it months later?
|
You have a real chance of success when you take action, you immediately start to
make progress against the goals you have set for yourself, you start learning
about what works and what doesn't. However little your initial steps maybe, by
taking these steps you are saying 'This is what I want and this is what I am
going to do about it'. Rather than just sit there and think about taking action.
I know if there was a medal for thinking about taking action then I would surely
win it, but there isn't and rightly so.

However here's another way to look at it, if you don't take action towards
whatever it is you want in your life, you are absolutely 100% guaranteed not to
get it. By not taking action you are sealing your fate before you have even
attempted to start.
Nothing comes from nothing right? I firmly believe
that if you take action towards your goals or whatever you want to change in
your life, then you are already doing more than a lot of people out
there.
"The journey of a thousand miles begins with a step
.."
-Lao Tzu
What stops people taking action?
There is
simply far too much to gain from taking action then not taking it when you are
on a course of self development. You know something has to change, and yet you
still don't take action, why is
this?
Laziness?
Motivation?
Money?
Time?
Fear?

Maybe you think your goal is too big, and that whatever you do today will have
no impact so you don't bother doing anything, this is a classic mistake to make,
believing that what you do today has no impact on the overall goal. But doing
something is always better than doing nothing, little by little great things can
be achieved, it's the simply little changes in your daily life that over time
can make the biggest impact. It is by making a commitment to yourself each day
to do something towards improving your life, however small, that over time will
affect your life greatly. Before you know it, real big changes have been made.
Businesses are created, relationships formed, languages learned, lasting
changes made.

The ability to act is what separates people. Action moves mountains! If you want
to go anywhere in life, if you want your life to change in any way shape or form
you are going to have to sit up and take action. Make a plan of what you need to
do and then take the necessary steps every day. Even if it is 10 minutes a day,
it will always be better than doing nothing.
"You don't have to be great
to start, but you have to start to be great."
-Joe Sabah
In 6
months time how on earth do you expect your life to be different if you aren't
doing anything about it right now? ~Here's a newsflash, if you aren't taking
action today, tomorrow or the next day to work towards your goals then guess
what? You and your life will be exactly the same in 6 months time as it is
now!
You will never have any chance of success (whatever that means to
you) if you don't take action. Taking action is no 100% guarantee of success;
just because you are taking an acting class doesn't mean you will one day win an
Oscar. But not doing anything about your life will guarantee nothing
improves.
"There are three kinds of people; those who make things happen,
those who watch things happen, and those who wonder what happened."
-Nicholas Butler Murray
Remember that your future is created not
by what you do tomorrow but by what you do today.
