Action Minded

There is no power or change in intention.  Power and change come only through action.

Action is the process of getting something done - moving to accomplish something.  A dream, a goal, an idea or a thought - all can have the potential for greatness.  But without action, they are merely concepts trapped in the mind or on paper.  So how can I become a person of action?

Action begins when I choose to engage in the process…to enter in…to connect…to participate in transferring a thought into reality.

Action takes form as I follow specific steps; when I choose to do something consistently to move forward.  It is important that the action is positive in every aspect - not just a “spinning of the wheels” or an exercise in futility, but rather measured steps towards accomplishment.  This might involve asking for input and assistance from others, learning something new, or seeking out specific opportunities where the concept can flourish.

Action grows and becomes clearer as I take intentional steps to accomplish the details of the plan.  The more I do, the more I will know what else to do - or what not to do.   Taking action will bring clarity to the process.

Action becomes stronger as I overcome barriers and obstacles that come along.  By pressing on, I can acquire skills needed to deal with distractions effectively.  By refusing to quit, I can set aside excuses and not be held back.

Action becomes powerful as I develop courage in the face of fear.  My willingness to stand up for what I believe will give me fearless energy to face distructive opposition and to accomplish the goals before me.  Minor setbacks will not become permanent failure, but rather an occasion for multiplied opportunity.

As I continue to take action, I will see results.  Results will bring accomplishment and accomplishment will bring the transformation from thought to reality.
