Are you an idealist or a rationalist?
Regardless of your type, action is the ultimate factor that determines your success. Without action, there is no movement forward. While thinking and waiting may be tempting, taking action is always necessary.
My best day always starts with getting out of bed, writing down my goals, and hitting my daily targets. Taking action toward goals helps me maintain my motivation, as my body fuels with lots of dopamine to keep me moving forward.
When was the last time you took action on something, and what was the result?
Don’t underestimate your action toward your goals
We often overestimate our abilities and underestimate our actions.
When I was a kid, I always had confidence in my ability to play soccer better than other kids. Until I got to high school, where I met other kids who were ten times better than me. At that moment, I thought that my skills were limited. But no, those kids took more action than me prior to getting on the team. They had more hours of practice than me. I trained once a week while they trained twice a day.
Abilities don't determine your success. Lots of action does.
When you have the abilities, you often become complacent and stay back because you know your ability will back you up. However, the more ability you have, the more action you should take to maintain that ability.
Abilities don't determine your success. Lots of action does.
People who take action will get the things they want, and they can also get the things they want away from you.
Never underestimate your actions toward everything you do. Only action can get you the results you want.
Action equals commitment to improvement
If you want to improve your life and everything around you, take action.
Take action to serve more, become more, and do more for yourself and others. Many people think that life will improve itself. Unfortunately, it doesn't. Life only improves when people take action and make it better.
People improve life, not life itself. You don't want to wait too long to realize that you still have to get out of bed, talk to people, work with people, learn from people, and do projects with people. They're all actions.
People improve life, not life itself
Here are the actions that you can take to improve your life:
Read books, articles, blogs, and content that improve your life.
Talk to people who are 10 times more successful than you are.
Build significant relationships with people around you.
Create and share your knowledge, curiosity, and passion.
You can slow down to think, but not to stop
When you take action, people will tell you to slow down.
You slow down to think, not to stop. Slowing down means that you’re thinking of the next step so that you can continue to take action to move forward. Sometimes, I become acutely aware of the words "slow down" and "caution". Do they mean to slow down and continue, or to slow down and stop?
When you take action, people will tell you to slow down.
Steve jobs used to say, “People who are crazy enough to think they can change the world are the ones who DO”
So keep doing, taking action, and accomplishing your goals.
