You need to learn to act on what you want to become. Make the first step and keep going. Don’t wait until you are ready to take action, but instead take action to be ready.
I’m saying this mainly because most people say they are waiting for the perfect moment before they can act, forgetting that they will never be perfectly ready; no one has ever done something when they were fully ready. Even successful initiatives like “Facebook” were not started when the founder’s were fully ready.
That is why they keep being updated. We are getting updates mainly because there are new features that need to be added, which were initially not added when the product was started.
You can only win lotto if you take action to buy the ticket. You can only be educated if you take action to study. You can only be an only be an author if you take action to write. You can only be an artist if you take action to rehearse. This means it is through action that we trigger the reaction and/or response.
This ultimately tells me that action is the ONLY thing that makes dreams become a reality. It is one tool that makes what’s in someone’s head to be in his hands. It is the only way to make what was not there to be there.
Regardless of what you want to be, regardless of where you are in life, it is through action that your dreams will become a reality. So stop talking and start doing.
Things do not happen by only talking about them but by action on them.
Be a doer not a talker. You can do it the best way it can be done. It’s all doable and possible. Remember, it’s not about how good you said you will do it but how good you actually did it that makes one a winner. I believe in you and know that if only you can put your focus on it and start acting on it, you will win. No one has ever slaughtered a cow by delaying to slaughter it. No one has ever obtained a qualification by delaying to study, and no one has ever had a booming business by delaying to start one.
No one has ever had a bursary by delaying to send the application developments. All I’m saying is the only way to get thing’s done it’s by doing them NOW.
Nothing gets done by pulling it up, by doing things NOW you actually tab into opportunities. The word “NOW” actually means No opportunity Wasted. You need to capitalise on opportunities by doing things as and when they are supposed to be done, whether you feel like doing it or not.
Remember, getting thing’s done gives you confidence to do more, and the more you do the luckier you will get to succeed in (2024). Whatever it is you want to do, just do it. You may never know what results you will get from your action but if you do nothing, there will be no results.
Action is the foundational key to all success. Learn not to talk but to act, not to say but show, not to promise but prove. Be content to act and leave the talking to others!
