Make That Difference Today: How Taking Action Is Vital To Your Success

I believe that action is one of the biggest factors that separates success from failure, action is the difference between living the life you want and the life you don’t want. From having what you want to going without it.

Whether the action is reading a book, writing a book, building a website, helping others, selling your house, personal development, kicking a bad habit, learning a language, taking an evening class to learn a new hobby or skill , rewriting your CV, getting in touch with friends you haven’t seen for a long time, improving yourself in some way or forcing yourself out of your comfort zone, there is an undeniable quality to action, it cannot be ignored and it is a must. absolute when creating a change. in your life.

Let’s say you want to start your own business, you’ve thought about it for a long time, you’ve read numerous books on the subject, you’ve talked to people about your plans, everyone is up for it! But you still don’t! 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 people who talk about what they want to do in the future, but how many of these same people are doing it months down the road?

You have a real chance of success when you take action, you immediately start making progress relative to the goals you’ve set for yourself, you start learning about what works and what doesn’t. However small your initial steps may be, by taking these steps you are saying ‘This is what I want and this is what I am going to do about it.’

Instead of just sitting there and thinking about taking action. I know that if there was a medal for thinking about taking action, I would surely win it, but there isn’t and with good reason.

However, here’s another way to look at it, if you don’t take action to achieve whatever it is you want in your life, you’re absolutely 100% sure you won’t get it. By not taking action, you are sealing your fate before you’ve even tried to start.

Nothing comes from nothing, right? I firmly believe that if you take action to achieve your goals or anything you want to change in your life, then you are already doing more than most people.

“The journey of a thousand miles begins with one step…”

-Lao Tse

What stops people from taking action?

There’s just so much to be gained by taking action and then not taking it when you’re on a self-development course. You know something has to change, and yet you don’t take action, why is this? I myself am guilty of this.

laziness?

Motivation?

Money?

Time?

Fear?

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

changes made.

Break the problem down into smaller parts, instead of looking at the overall result.

What are you going to do today that will make a difference in your life tomorrow?

Let’s say you have a characteristic about yourself that you want to improve, say being more socially confident, from where you are now (shy, shy and nervous) this may seem like a long way to go, but if each day you make a commitment to do something about it and then take steps to achieve it, you are already on your way to overcoming the problem and becoming more socially secure. The commitment you make to yourself every day to take action will always be what separates you from the rest.

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, you will have to sit down and act. Make a plan of what you need to do, and then take action every day. Even if it’s 10 minutes a day, it will always be better than

doing nothing.

In 6 months, how the hell do you expect your life to be any different if you’re not doing anything about it right now? ~ Here’s a news flash, if you’re not taking action today, tomorrow or the day after to work towards your goals, guess what? You and your life will be exactly the same 6 months from now 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 not a 100% guarantee of success; Just because you’re taking an acting class doesn’t mean you’ll win an Oscar one day. But doing nothing for your life will guarantee that nothing gets better.

“There are three types of people: those who make things happen, those who see things happen, and those who wonder what happened.”

Remember that your future is not created by what you do tomorrow but by what you do today.
