Do you spend all your free time reading and gathering information? Are you a self-help junkie that never seems to make any meaningful progress in your life? Are you trying to take your life to the next level by using the power of your mind alone?
How is that working out for you?
Truth is nothing changes until your behavior changes. Sure, you might feel better about your life after all your mental exercises, but is anything happening in your life from all of these intellectual efforts?
Take the initiative and watch your life change before your eyes!!
Consider these ideas:
1. You must do something for something to happen. Nothing happens until you act. You cannot wish or visualize your way to a plate of food, a fancy car, the partner or your dreams, or a successful business. Those things might make it easier for you to act, but you must still take action of some type.
Unless you are telekinetic, you cannot even make a paperclip move across your desk without taking action.
The more you want to accomplish, the bigger the action you will need to take.
2. It is not what you can do that matters. It is what you actually do that counts. The amount of capability you possess only increases the number of options you have available.
Having options is not the same as choosing one and taking action.
3. Your beliefs, values, and thoughts influence your behavior. For example, if you believe that you are smart, capable, and good looking, your behavior will be different than if you believe that you are simple minded, incapable, and dowdy in appearance. Here are some more examples:
Do you believe that failure is fine or to be avoided at all costs?
Do you believe that most people are inherently good or inherently bad?
Do you value safety or adventure?
Do you have positive thoughts about your goals or negative?
None of these things has any actual power in the world, other than that they can alter the choices you make and the actions you take.
4. The law of averages is ultimately on your side. If your dream is to play the piano, you can certainly do it. You simply must keep working at it. A pro pianist might play a certain piece better than you do, but you will most likely be successful eventually.
When you do something, you get a result. You are bound to get the result you want eventually if you take action long enough. Eventually, the law of averages will pay off.
When you do nothing, you always fail.
5. Action creates potential. When you take action, you can learn from your results. When you take action, things change. New opportunities become available. You might meet a new person that can help you get what you want. When you take the first step, the next step appears.
Things start happening when you start moving. Nothing happens while you are learning, scheming, and planning.
Things begin to change when your behavior changes. You have proven this to yourself thousands of times throughout your life. Your life changed when you started working, changed jobs, and made new friends. Your life was different after you made permanent changes to your diet or started a new diet.
You cannot just accumulate knowledge, daydream, or make grand plans. You must DO new things.
When your behavior changes, your life changes. How do you want your life to change? What can you DO to make it happen? When will you get started?
