With Thanksgiving over and getting back on track with my business, I thought I would share a bit with you on the power of “ACTION”. Most of us know that the word action is an action verb which means to move or movement. So without sounding elementary….”What opportunities are you waiting for…What needs to line up before you take the action needed to move towards your goals and future? What is holding you back? What is pulling you down into the land of “Settling and Waiting”?

I heard a story once and it has stuck with me for years…Its about Crabs….If you have ever been crab fishing…as you catch the crabs and place them into a bucket…they are constantly trying to get out and climb the walls of the bucket. But as more and more crabs are added to the bucket, the larger and stronger crabs are able to climb a bit higher and almost reach the top until another crab who is also trying to get out of the bucket and into his freedom pulls on the higher crab to pull himself up and then they both tumble to the bottom of the bucket only to start all over again. So neither of the crabs reach their destination of freedom.

Isn’t that like us sometimes, we can be like the crabs, clawing our way up the river of life…trying to reach over the top of our bucket. Striving for our freedom…knowing that it is within reach…knowing that it is just on the other side. But the people around us are continually pulling us back down, reminding us that we don’t have what it takes, we have never made it before what makes us think that we can do it know.

images2 I believe that there is something more… born in every person…We all have the power of choice within us. We all have the ability to make our mark, to fulfill our Destiny. We are all programmed that way, it is in our DNA, but we do have to fight for it to be released.

Our Dreams can take some time to appear and in the process of waiting we become tired, worn out, hopeless, discouraged, and the like because time has taken its toll on us.

Nothing in life is free…We have all heard that from the time we were small till today. And nothing…especially Success is easy. It takes work and the power of Action to put the work into forward movement. It’s not the achievement of your dreams that make you a success it is the person that you have become along the way that makes you the successful person.

Albert Einstein…said “Nothing Happens Until Something Moves”

So lets look at a couple of ideas that we can put into practice to begin our journey towards success.

  1. All the ideas, preparation, knowledge, and wisdom we can acquire are all essential in our pursuit of our dreams and achievements, BUT…our ideas, preparation, knowledge and wisdom are useless without action, because action is the starting point of ALL progress…
  1. “Outside forces” always come into play when one takes action. The bolder the action, the more powerful these outside forces seem to be. It does seem that the more action that one puts into his/her goals, these are the ones achieving their highest aspirations.
  1. Action Produces Genius….. Action is the key to the brains ignition. You DO NOT need to be motivated to act! Force yourself to take action, and motivation will follow. Action stimulates both the body and your brain cells. It brings you in contact with surprising things, unexpected events, and incredible people who have the potential to be critical to your success. Take action first, even just to explore your possibilities, and you will be amazed how your creative juices begin to flow.

Most people “wait” to be motivated to then take action… which is why most people are stuck “waiting” for opportunities to come their way. But…. Opportunities never come to those who “wait.” We have to go after them….seeking them out for ourselves….exploring the possibilities….looking at life as a journey. If we never risk….we really never live.
