We all have an idea about how we want our lives to be, yet most of us just settle with what we get.
Why is this?
Why do 95% of the population have a disconnect from the life we want and the life we get?
Primarily because we believe that the above question is the right question to ask.
We believe life is about what we get, rather than the life we have constructed for ourselves.
Well there is one thing that can help you get you the results you want. Once you understand what you want (which is a starting point for anything) then you can set yourself up for the most important step you could ever need with anything…TAKING ACTION!!
People talk about knowledge being power, but they are wrong. Knowledge is potential power but action is what really transforms this knowledge into something tangible.
Think about it do we know how to get fit? Do we know how to “lose” weight?
Yes we do, but we don’t take any action on it and just take whatever we end up with.
We all get scared of what our plan not working or even worse, failing! Guess what, we are going to fail and the quicker we try, the quicker we will find out if that way works or not.
How many times will you or did you let your child fall over before you told them just to give up on this whole walking thing? You didn’t and guess what your child will just keep getting up until they get it, but as adults we don’t want to go anywhere near failure, because we don’t want to look bad, or we don’t want to feel bad, or even worse we don’t want to succeed.
TAKE ACTION, whatever it is that you have been wanting to do, do it now.
BONUS: Here is a little bonus tip, if you want to bypass some of the failing and restarting. Find someone who has done it! Find someone who is still doing it. Pay for the privilege of their experience and take their lessons and guess what they may have learned more since they achieved what you want to achieve. Go find them and ask the questions. Stand on the shoulders of giants!
THOUGHT OF THE WEEK
“Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn’t do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbour. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover.”
– H. Jackson Brown Jr.
So where are you not taking action and should be?
Have an awesome week,
Kris Mac
