Action, not Words, Will Bring You the Most Success!
Author: Sharon Capehart  | Posted: 25-02-2008 | Comments: 0 | Views: 12 | Rating: (51)  (?) 
 Action is the glue that binds a pursuit of greater success. Action is inspiring, builds momentum, and keeps you moving in the right direction! Unfortunately, action also falls into that ‘easier said than done’ category and is the biggest hurdle faced by most people who desire success. We’re all capable of action, so why is it such a big challenge?
First, most people lack the self-discipline to consistently take action. Second, too many people think that, by staying positive and recognizing opportunities, success will just happen. Third, people have a lot fear in their lives, fears that can keep them where they are in life. Finally, many people see themselves as action-oriented when all they’re doing is following someone else’s agenda. Action for success must be based upon things that are for your benefit!
Until you know why you’ve not taken action, you won’t know what hurdles to cross to achieve success! You may be aware that things like positive mindsets, goals, and accountability all contribute to a recipe for success. Any of these in the absence of a commitment to taking action will be less valuable and will have a lesser impact on your life!
Think about it this way. Imagine a positive and upbeat person who does nothing to have that mindset help them. Imagine having the best and most inspiring goals you could come up with, but yet they remain on a desk collecting dust. A good attitude and proper goals are only ‘calls to action’. They should help you with taking action but don’t guarantee that you will. Action is something that builds upon other foundations of success and is thus just as important!
Action is itself something of a mindset. It is often but should not be confused with being busy. I know many people who are self-proclaimed action takers, proud of the fact that they are always busy. Behind the scenes, these go-getters are still not getting what they hope for out of life. Why do you think that is? Maybe, their actions are actually directed at the wrong things. They may be busy but they’re not busy doing things that will make them more successful.
Think about how your time is spent each day. In addition to your hours at work, but how much time do you spend in bed, running errands, etc. There probably isn’t a lot of free time left, is there? My challenge to you is to someway, somehow create 5-10 hours of free time a week that you can devote to achieving your goals. I just don’t buy the excuse that you don’t have the time to make success happen. I know you can do better than that!
Success is founded upon a commitment to becoming successful. A huge part of this commitment is to devote time and effort to reaching your goals. Once you find the time, you’ll never have an excuse for not taking action! So make this commitment for yourself and start taking action towards a successful tomorrow!
