The Only Thing that will Move You Forward is Action

Greetings:

To achieve a goal, you must first conceive it, create an idea and know what it is you want. Having the idea is the first step in creating what you want. You then must create a plan that will make it possible for you to obtain that goal. But it can't stop there. The only thing that will move you forward is ACTION.

Action is the single thing that will create results. You can have a great idea, but ideas without action are worthless. You can have the best and most well thought-out plan in the world, but if you do not take action, the plan is not worth the paper it is written on. Taking action is the only thing that will get you closer to your goals. By taking action, you create the movement that is necessary to make things happen.

Hopefully you are reading this and thinking, "So what, I knew that." I think we all know this. Action creates results. The problem is that knowing it isn't enough. Knowing that you need to take action and actually taking action are too different things. Most people know what they need to do; it is the doing that gets in the way.

If you know that action is what creates results, then why don't you take the actions you know you need to take? What happens to many of us is fear steps in and stops us. We fear failure, disappointment, or making mistakes. And you have good reason to fear all of those things. When you begin to make changes you will experience failure and disappointment and you will make mistakes.

If you want to make changes in your life, you must face fear. When you accept that, it makes it a little easier. When you begin to make changes, you will face disappointment. Do not worry. No one has died of disappointment yet, so expect it and move on. And when you begin to make changes, you will make mistakes along the way. Celebrate the mistakes because it means you are moving forward and get on with it. Once you realize that failure, disappointment and mistakes are all part of making change you can be prepared and take action.

We are wrapping up our third week in the Daily Action Power Process. I am thrilled with the results that are coming about because of the Process. Keep going with the process and look for changes to start showing up. After 21 Days the process becomes a little easier as the habits are beginning to set in. Keep on going. Action is what leads to success.

Here's to taking action,
