Take Action
Take Action!
People often ask me why some people become successful while many other people keep struggling.
The answer is simple:
The things successful people find to be easy to do, the others found to be easy not to do.
As Anthony Robbins says,
“The path to success is to take massive, determined action.”
….
I found it easy to set the goals that could change my life. They found it easy not to.
I found it easy to read the books that could affect my thinking and my ideas. They found that easy not to.
I found it easy to attend the webinars, and to get around other successful people. They said it probably really wouldn’t matter.
If I had to sum it up, I would say what I found to be easy to do, they found to be easy not to do.
In a few years, I’m successful online and they are all still blaming the economy, the government, and company policies, yet they neglected to DO the basic, easy things.
In fact, the primary reason most people are not doing as well as they could and should, can be summed up in a single word: Non-Action
What it ISN’T!
It is not the lack of money – banks are full of money.
It is not the lack of opportunity – America, and much of the free World, continues to offer the most unprecedented and abundant opportunities in the last six thousand years of recorded history.
It is not the lack of books – libraries are full of books – and they are free!
It is not the schools – the classrooms are full of good teachers. We have plenty of ministers, leaders, counselors and advisors. As a matter of fact, most of the self-made millionaires from the past 100 years or so, never had a formal education!
Everything we would ever need to become rich and powerful and sophisticated is within our reach. The major reason that so few take advantage of all that we have is simply non-action.
Non-action is like an infection. Left unchecked it will spread throughout our entire system of disciplines and eventually lead to a complete breakdown of a potentially joy-filled and prosperous human life.
Here’s the Downward Cycle Caused by Non-Action:
Not DOING the things we know we should do
causes us to feel guilty and guilt leads to an erosion of self-confidence.
As our self-confidence diminishes, so does the level of our activity.
And as our activity diminishes, our results inevitably decline.
And as our results suffer, our attitude begins to weaken.
And as our attitude begins the slow shift from positive to negative,
our self-confidence diminishes even more… and on and on it goes.
So my suggestion is that when you are given the choice of “easy to” and “easy not to” that you do not neglect to DO the simple, basic, “easy” but potentially life-changing activities and disciplines.
These success-creating activities are easy to DO, and easy NOT to do.
That was one of the main points in Jeff Olson’s “The Slight Edge”.
If you don’t have that book, I suggest you grab it.
It’s worth the read.
Now, let’s get BUSY!
