Action is the yard stick of Character
Action is the yard stick of Character
This guys is a fact, it is action that will define you and it is action will change your life. It is not with intention or positive thoughts alone you will change the world or your own world. No it is through action and continuously taking action. It is action that creates momentum. You have to be bold and brave and take the leap. Have you ever stood at a pier while swimming or on the shore and keep saying will I won’t I only with every passing moment you are making a mountain out of a molehill. Just go and do it guys. Action is your redemption, Action is you vehicle, Action is your destiny, keep in mind fortune favors the brave.
Fear and procrastination
Fear and procrastination is the thief in the night; it steels your hope and dreams and worse it let’s you justify their behavior, so much so, you convince yourself this is life. Guys I appeal to you, too many in this world are stuck in ruts and wrapped with a heavy cosy comfort blanket. Yet you are not happy and you resign to the fact nothing can be done about it.
Bullshit I say, yes I said bullshit and you know it. Ok some of you might get aggressive and say “you have no clue, you do not know how hard my life is “etc…yes you are correct I don’t know you nor your challenges, but what I do know; the only one that can change it, is you and you alone and you have to start from within.
You see too many lay in fear and have lost the courage to take action. Day after day leaving little things go and little things develop and then boom one day you are crippled with procrastination and afraid to take the most simplest of decisions; you have just taken yourself completely from the game.
The game, I speak of, is your life. Too many have allowed the negative thought take over, “who do you think you are” “you do not deserve” you will not succeed” etc. All bullshit as someone may have said these things to you once but who keeps reinforcing it? you.
So promise me you stop today and make your mind the home venue. Always play the game on home ground. I heard this the other day listening to Jessica and Nick Ortner of the “Tapping Solution” and I said what a simple but brilliant idea.
Play the game on the home venue
So basically what the Ortner’s were saying your mind should be the home venue. As we know whether it be sport business etc, the home venue has a huge advantage to the home team, as the home team always perform better.
They have more fans they are secure they are familiar with their surroundings. The stats prove home team wins more times in business when it comes to negotiation you should meet them in your office if you can as team in business perform much better on home turf.
So guys lets make your mind the home venue. Instead of saying “who do you think you are” lets say “you got this” “I believe in you” “well done” cheer your yourself and once you start doing these things you gain momentum. Allied to this you start to feel better about yourself your mindset changes and your chest expands as you start to have pride again and expectation you start to say I deserve it.
There is no denying in this world we are our own worst enemies but this also means if we control and direct what is between our ears we truly have no limits. However you need discipline and planning strategies and goals guys and yes it takes work be under no illusion.
One life, create a dream one
Many people have told me Colm I do not know what I want to do with my life. Well to be honest I’m not sure many do, as they are clouded by a storm of opinions expectations of others. I think too many feel obligated and responsible to fulfill wishes of others and caught up in this whirlwind of nonsense, they have lost themselves, lost touch with who they are. My answer is do what makes you happy do what makes you smile.
Now I hear you say Colm that won’t put food on the table that’s a pipedream. Well I completely disagree we have heard throughout our lives, “be a teacher” ” be a doctor” be what ever. This is a huge mistake. You have one life and it is never too late to change, I have seen people make a living from their passions irrespective of what they are.
You see they had the passion the motivation to shaping into something that gave value to others and created an income. Who would believe 30 years ago we would have millionaire yoga instructors with followers all over the world. Who would have thought that we have language teachers travelling the world learning and teaching languages online.
These people believed in their passion they had no alternative but to do what they loved. The problem is we live in a world that has become comfortable safe people who lack courage lack the fortitude to jump. Many are our friends and family even though they want the best for us keep in mind “The road to hell is paved with good intentions”
