Inaction

“Once more unto the breach, dear friends, once more;”
King Henry Henry V Act 3 scene 1

Have you ever felt stuck, full of great ideas, but nothing ever happens, nothing materialises, you just keep doing the same old thing trying to get ahead?

Take a moment to review your life so far;

How much have you achieved?

What went right?

What went wrong?

How fun has the journey been?

Every great achievement, in fact any achievement at all started with a thought. Applied to that thought was action. If you analyse your past successes you will notice that it was not always the correct decision and the correct action that brought you the desirable result or achievement, it was the fact that definite action, of any sort, followed thought!

if things went wrong because the action was in appropriate, ones behaviour was adjusted , and if the action was correct, things progressed. The key to success is action, the key to failure is inaction. The universe doesn’t care which option you choose, and it defaults to inaction!

To counter inaction we need certain information upon which we can act, so consider the following questions;

What do you want?

Where do you want to be?

What do I have to do to get there?

Is this really what I want and why?

The simple phrase of someone being a “mover and shaker” implicitly implies a person of action.

How often have you used this phrase to describe a co worker?

Why don’t you use it to describe yourself… go on try… go the the mirror and say to your reflection, say “(your name) is a mover and shaker”

How did you feel?

If you were embarrassed, that is good, it shows that you still have work to do and that you can achieve what ever it is that you may desire, no limits, no explanation.

Go and Be Do Have it – I dare you!
