The power of action

Morning readers.

Today we will be looking at one of the biggest powers we possess as human beings. It is a power that we take for granted and don't utilitise as often as we should.

This is the power to take action. It is the power to actually do what you want to do and be who you want to be.

Most people put off what they can do to become successful today until tomorrow. Why? Because the decision to delay taking action is easier than taking action immediately.

Remember though that the most successful people take action immediately and take action daily.

Other people don't take action because they don't know what to do or how much to do.

A great tactic for overcoming this problem is a 3 stage process:

1) plan. Make a plan to do something. It doesn't matter what it is, if it is the right action or the right amount

2) do. Action the plan. Do what you planned.

3) review. Assess how the action worked out in line with your desired result and adjust the plan accordingly putting you back to stage 1 of the 3 stage process.

An example of this is wanting to learn about world war 2. You plan to read for 1 hour from your text book every Friday night for 1 month.

You do it.

When you review it, you realise that Friday night is not a good time to read as you are in a rush to finish reading because you want to meet your friends. So you change the plan to read on Wednesdays instead.

Then when you review it, you find reading for one hour too tiring and you are not retaining enough information you are reading so you change it to reading for 30 minutes.

I think you get the idea.

The beautiful thing is everyone can do this and with different tasks they want to achieve.

We live in a world where we can make excuses or we can live empowered lives full of action. The choice is ours.

Have a blessed day and I will hopefully be back with another post in the next 7 days as I have a busy week ahead.
