How To Take action

Know what you want. You can’t take action without knowing what you want to achieve. Have a detailed plan. Know yourself. Know what you can do. Know what you can’t do. Go for what you can do. Seek help for what you can’t do.

You have got to be satisfied with your life. Self- satisfaction is the beginning of success.

Don’t resist change. Life is all about change. The more you resist change, the more you are holding yourself back. You can’t move forward without change. So why not embrace it?

Believe you can succeed. If you believe in yourself, there is nothing you cannot achieve. It is your conviction that something is true. Before you take action, don’t doubt yourself for a second. If you do, you have defeated yourself.

You must eliminate “I Can’t” from your head. You must replace it with positive words.

Don’t let your mistakes make you. Without mistakes, there is no experience. You need mistakes to gain experience in your life. Don’t be afraid of making them.

Follow your passion. It is good to follow your passion. But before you commit yourself to your passion, you must test it.

Learn from your past, but live in the moment. Don’t live in the past. It is gone. It has nothing to do for you anymore.

Life is a risk. Risk doing something positive, no matter what. If you risk doing nothing, you risk losing everything.

Take responsibility for your actions. It pains to hold yourself accountable for your actions. But without that, you can’t strengthen your muscles. Learning comes from taking responsibility for your actions. It is the way forward, if you want to grow.

You should never focus on problems. The more you focus on your problems, the more you attract problems into your life. People love solutions. If you want to win in life, be a solutionist.

It Is The Only Way Forward

We like to do the things that make us feel good, but are not helping us move forward. We like to look good in summer, but we don’t want to hit the gym. We do not like to be fat, but we don’t want to exercise.

We want to be really successful, but we don’t want to do the work. We want to live in a big house, but we are thinking small.

We like to enjoy life, but we don’t want to suffer. We want to be happy, but we are not nice to our friends. We want people to respect us, but we are not doing the work. We like positive people, but we see only negative things in people.

“We want to be successful, but we don’t want to fail.”

We like to do things that are not really helping us closer to our goals. We like to be comfortable. But if you want to move forward, to grow, to expand, to be happy, you have to do the things that you don’t like to do.

Doing the things that will help you grow in life is the only forward. It is the only way forward.

If there is anything standing in your way, the only way forward is to go through it. The only way forward in life is to go through your obstacles, your problems, your failures, your missteps.

The only way forward is to embrace those things that you have been running away from. If you face them, you will move forward. If you don’t, you will stay where you are.

Embrace pain and move forward. Helen Keller said, “Although the world is full of suffering, it is also full of the overcoming of it.”
