Take action on your goals
The odds of you being successful without taking action are about the same as the odds of winning the lottery without buying a ticket!
For those times when you feel trapped, stressed, or in a prison of your own making, take purposeful action. It’s your Get-Out-Of-Jail-Free card!
In real estate, it’s location, location, location. In goal setting its action, action, action! You can’t just stick out your thumb and hitch a ride to success. You have to roll up your sleeves and do the work that needs to be done. The litmus test of goal setting is purposeful action.
Let yourself be seduced by the attractiveness of your target. Inaction leads to impotence. Taking decisive action immunizes you against “Parkinson’s goal,” a long, slow goodbye to your dreams.
A quality life is achieved when thoughtful attention, goal setting, and purposeful action fall into place.
Whether your dream is to be or not to be depends largely on your actions! The cure for the ills of procrastination is a strong prescription for action, until the day comes when your dreams and their fulfillment are the same. Until you can’t tell them apart! And when that day comes, dream bigger dreams and take more action.
A good plan will almost always get you in the door, but it’s action that seals the deal. So you want a guarantee? Well, here it is: Without determined action, the only guarantee is failure and mediocrity!
Don’t tiptoe towards your goal, walk with confidence… before you fall into the arms of abandonment.
Dreams come true through one simple mode of transportation: determined action. Tea
continuation of bad habits, such as procrastination, is like having an addiction to weapons of mass destruction.
It’s tragically unsympathetic to procrastinate. Unfortunately, the vast majority of people never show their true potential; he never has an opening night…he never makes a debut. Most of the potential lies deep within each individual waiting to come out. And it stays there because people are afraid.
The mechanics of achieving a goal make it easier for people to relate to the need for action. But when the action has no purpose, it can become an Achilles heel.
When we operate without planning, we remain forever scattered and confused. You’re always busy, but you don’t accomplish much. Without a deeper appreciation and application of planning, the most you can hope for is a marginal improvement.
Intimidate your fears through a goal-directed activity. Since when is being the underdog a reason not to chase your dreams?
Remember: it’s not the size of the dog in the fight…it’s the size of the fight in the dog!
Don’t just pursue your goal… inhabit it! Wear it, perform it, live it, try it! Commit, take action. Life is not a scratch and sniff test!
When you set a goal, there is a distance between your current reality and the desired reality.
Procrastination increases the distance and minimizes the chances of achievement.
Procrastination is the mother of regret. Postpone the future, abort takeoff at the last minute. Unless you take action to achieve your goals, life becomes a constant series of postponements, cancellations, and missed opportunities.
You will never achieve your goals simply by thinking and talking about them. You must take action!
Everything counts!
