What I Believe… Part 2
-
A while ago I posted a Blog entitled What I Believe as a response to another Blog of the same title.
With goal-setting in my mind I wanted to discuss one more thing that I believe:
ACTION - ACTION – ACTION!
This word is so vitally important when it comes to goal-setting. Far too often people think about what they want and dream all day long – Yes I am a culprit of this – but they do not take any action!
The wisdom of many self development coaches basically says: You can go into your garden of weeds, think positive thoughts and imagine that the weeds are gone all you like, but 6 months down the line your weeds will still be there. You have to take action! Massive action!
The bigger the action, the bigger the result! What that action needs to be will vary from goal to goal, but the fact is that you need to take action, and you need to take it NOW!
It’s New Years Eve – yes, I know, second post of the day but I felt this was necessary – but I suggest you take action today on your dream lifestyle you want.
The first action step you take might just be planning your goal to the letter with time lines, contacts, finances, etc… but at least you are doing something!
If you know what your goal is then great, go out and do something – ANYTHING! – to help it become a reality .
If you don’t know what your goal is then grab a piece of paper and scribble, scribble, scribble for 30 minutes straight until you find an answer!
Here’s to 2009 being the best year of our lives. All of us!
P.S. – Please comment and let me know what action you’ve taken right now!

Just so you know I practise what you preach… my own action was to phone my wife and discuss our plans for 2009 with her! Now I will get out my pen and paper and scribble away!
I absolutely love your reference to the garden of weeds. That defines in no uncertain terms the need for action!
